Without guarantees: Intersectional violence, sexual and reproductive rights of Venezuelan indigenous women.

Abstract

The obstacles faced by Amazonian indigenous women in exercising their sexual and reproductive rights, as well as in accessing related health care, are generally associated with "problems" related to their ethnicity, without highlighting the responsibility of states in the formulation of laws, actions and differentiated protection policies. The responsibility that States have in the formulation of laws, actions and policies of differentiated protection. In this paper we propose how normative advances and specific public policies on sexual and reproductive rights for indigenous women are required in the context of a humanitarian crisis embedded in historical discrimination and intersectional violence in Venezuela.
