I've been a member of Amnesty since last September and I felt this campaign links to this blog I've decided to resurrect. In Nicaragua rape and sexual abuse is shockingly common, especially against girls under 17. Worse still, the justice system is almost no help, and the attacker walks free and the victim is blamed.
And, abortion is illegal even if it is the result of a rape, even incestuous rape.
So on 28th September this year women's organisations, women, men and children will march to demand the repeal of total abortion ban and march to end sexual violence to women and girls.
Anyone can use Amnesty to show their support (free!) by designing a butterfly with a message of solidarity that will be part of the demonstrations.
