Tania Velasquez, 23, kisses her son goodbye before handing him off to his father and heading to work, outside the family’s home in Cúcuta, Colombia, on September 29, 2018. Tania, a sexual violence survivor herself, works with women in her neighborhood to promote reproductive health and family planning, and discourage family violence. Though Tania is Colombian, many of the women she works with are new arrivals from Venezuela. Colombia has some of the most progressive abortion laws in Latin America, but the millions of women displaced for decades by the conflict between the Colombian government and FARC guerrillas, and more recently by crisis in neighboring Venezuela, often find themselves unable to access safe procedures Ãł and to choose for themselves whether or not to continue a pregnancy. Globally, millions of women who have fled their homes because of conflict or crisis also face systemic rape and the resulting pregnancies. Despite the clear need -- refugee women face among the highest levels of sexual violence in the world -- abortion services are almost nonexistent in refugee camps. "Why don't women raped in conflict have a right to abortion?" is a question that indicts some of the most powerful individuals and institutions, while zeroing in on the experiences and stories of some of the most marginalized people.
