Captive women
Currently, 24 countries prohibit the termination of pregnancy under any circumstances. El Salvador has one of the most restrictive laws in the world on abortion. There, women accused of having an abortion can be sentenced to prison terms of up to 40 years for aggravated homicide. Cautivas includes the case of Cristina Quintanilla, sentenced to thirty years in prison accused of having an abortion. She was released from prison after four and a half years when her case was reviewed, with an already broken life and a criminal record that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
