It is of specific consideration the access to tubal sterilization, sexual violence care, prevention of Sexual Transmited Diseases (STD) and HIV, emergency hormonal contraceptive and not penalized abortion. We also include aspects such as the possible legalization of abortion and the information provided about sexuality and reproductive health, about the benefits and risks of medicine, technology and medical treatment. Using a an exploratory descriptive design and qualitative methodology, different interviewing techniques were conducted in depth with patients from a health center and from a Public Hospital especializated in maternal and child health, in the south of City of Buenos Aires.
