Castilla-La Mancha abortion access protests

Overview

In Castilla-La Mancha, the Platform for the Right to Abortion in the Public Sector has organized a demonstration in Alcázar de San Juan for September 27. The protest seeks to demand that the regional government guarantee access to voluntary interruption of pregnancy through the public healthcare system under equal conditions for all women.

Organizers, comprising feminist, union, and human rights groups, criticize a model where women are frequently referred to private clinics. They report that in 2024, 100% of legal abortions in the region were performed in private facilities and claim that over the last 15 years, approximately 60% of women in the region have had to travel outside of Castilla-La Mancha to exercise this right. The platform argues this reliance on private resources creates territorial inequality, particularly affecting women in rural areas or those with limited economic means.
