Planejamento familiar e direitos reprodutivos no Brasil e na Colômbia em uma perspectiva comparada

Abstract

The present work seeks to evaluate the evolution of perspectives on family planning and reproductive rights in Brazil and Colombia following international conferences – both global and regional – on the subject, from which the themes were discussed and disseminated. This is a qualitative research, which will use the comparative method to evaluate the adherence of the two countries to the evolution of the two main concepts listed above. The main sources are reports from international organizations, proposed resolutions from international meetings and Brazilian and Colombian legislation. The work departs from a decolonial reading of Feminist Theory to seek to answer whether there is a convergence in Brazilian and Colombian actions in both regional and international debates with what is implemented in both countries. Based on the hypothesis that there is a reluctance in the search for the implementation of reproductive rights and family planning programs in Brazil and Colombia, it can be concluded that, although the two countries have a historical similarity, there is not a reluctance and, yes, a mismatch in the way the debate on these issues is conducted at the domestic level.
