ADVANCE QUESTIONS TO EL SALVADOR – ADD.1
SLOVENIA

With regard to sexual and reproductive health, we noted that abortion is outlawed
under all circumstances, even for medical reasons or in case of rape. We would be
interested to learn whether there are any discussions underway to decriminalize
abortion for the above-mentioned reasons?

We noted the concern of the CRPD about the discrimination against persons with
disabilities in accessing health services, about the fact that medical procedures were
conducted without free and informed consent of persons with disabilities, and that the
law permitted the forced sterilization. We would like to ask which measures the
Government of El Salvador intends to adopt in order to eliminate discrimination
against disabled persons in accessing health, in particular with regard to those medical
procedures were an informed consent of persons with disabilities is needed.

We would welcome more information on the set up of a comprehensive policy to
assist and prevent children from living in the street.
