    National Report:
    Para 39) Moreover, Legislative Decree No. 1323 bolsters efforts to combat femicide, domestic violence and gender-based violence by redefining the criminal offence of sexual exploitation and establishing aggravated penalties (from 20 to 25 years), significantly harsher than those for other criminal offences, when the victim is a child or adolescent. It also establishes a custodial sentence of not less than 25 years and not more than 30 years in the event of the victim’s death.
    Para 99) The Prevention, Care and Protection Strategy to Address Domestic and Sexual Violence in Rural Areas was adopted in 2012. 150 It established a local system of intercultural justice in 33 rural districts of 18 regions, jointly with local governments, community leaders and institutional actors, to promote coordination between ordinary and community justice systems. The Strategy includes plans and protocols appropriate to the institutional and community reality in rural areas.

    UN Compilation:
    Para 84) Two Committees were concerned at reports of widespread violence against women and girls, including domestic and sexual violence and femicide. In 2014, the Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice noted that violence against women was a widespread problem in all spheres, including the home, school, work and public spaces, and that prosecutions of crimes were still not receiving the priority they deserved. ...

    Ensure access to sexual and reproductive health services for adolescences.
    Implementation
    National Report:
    Para 76) The interpretation of article 4 of the General Health Act whereby adolescents’ access to contraceptives was restricted has been overturned and, in keeping with the view that family planning is not medical or surgical treatment but an activity designed to prevent unwanted pregnancies, a programme giving adolescents access to health services for the revention of pregnancy was launched. This ensures that they are provided with orientation, advice and customized comprehensive care, with an emphasis on sexual and reproductive health. Despite these efforts, the rate of teenage pregnancy is high (12.7 per cent as of 2016, according to official figures).
    Para 77) The technical health regulations for the comprehensive and differentiated care of adolescents during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period were also adopted. The regulations encourage access to contraceptives in the postnatal or post-abortion period after orientation or counselling in sexual and reproductive health, with the emphasis placed on family planning to prevent another pregnancy.

    Para 66) ... JS7 drew attention to the high maternal mortality rate among adolescents, public misinformation, discrimination and problems with infrastructure and equipment. ...
