State Under Review:PhilippinesPhilippinesRegional groupAsia-Pacific GroupPolitical groupASEANSource Of Reference:Stakeholder SummaryIssue:
- Abortion
- Marginalized groups of women
Type:Review DocumentationSession:1st session, April 2008Status:Reference AddressedContents:CRR stated that the Philippines has criminalized abortion without providing clear exceptions to this ban even when the woman's life or health is in danger, when the pregnancy is the result of rape, or when there is medical evidence of foetal impairment. The penalty for women undergoing abortion and for providers ranges from 2 to 6 years in prison. Despite its illegality, resort to abortion is widespread and a large percentage of maternal deaths are due to complications from unsafe abortions. The high maternal mortality ration, which stands at 200 deaths per 100,000 live births, is one of the highest rates in the East and South-east Asia region, according to EnGendeRights (EGR). Studies show that low income women are disproportionately impacted by the ban on abortion and it is estimated that around two-thirds of women who undergo abortion are poor. [Para 32] -
