What happened this week with the attempt to bring charges against Carolina Sabino shows the schizophrenia that surrounds the issue of abortion in Colombia.

In the almost ten years I have worked in Racial Discrimination WAtch, I have never heard a diagnostic and protest so eloquent and correct like the spontanous speech of the cabinet-maker Carlos Angulo after being randomly searched by the policy in Bogotá's city center.

The perverse form in which police department sets goals induces the police to commit arbritrariness against low-income populations.

The Public Prosecutor's Office violated Carolina Sabino's right to privacy in three ways: it investigated her regarding a private matter that did not concern third parties, it allegedly tried to use a family conversation as evidence, and revealed this information to all Colombian media.

The de-financing of the IACHR is not an accident, but rather the most effective method of governments to block it or avoid its decisions.
