Servico Brasileiro de Justica e Paz (17 November 1994)
One chart from page 70 of the document about the sterilized women:
72% satisfied
13% satisfied with problems
1.7% unsatisfied
11.7% regret *
I was hoping to get your thoughts on these stats National Titles 17.
* the word used is arrependidas which for me has a stronger connotation than regret, but I can't think of another translation at the moment.
This a fairly good summary of the CPI (No 2, 1993) published by the Brasilian government.The index of mass sterilization of women in Brazil is grave. Calculations of the Health Ministry estimate that 25 million Brazilian women have been sterilized. The index of sterilized women is greater in the poorest areas of the country (the northeast and central-west). 75.9 percent of the women in the state of Maranhao are sterilized. 71.9 percent in Goias and 63.3 percent in Mato Grosso. The incidence of sterilization is higher in Afro-Brazilian women revealing a racist component to this procedure. The majority of the sterilizations are done immediately after a woman gives birth to a child. In a country where birth control methods are almost the most expensive in the world, sterilization has become the most common form of birth control in Brazil. Denouncements continue to be made that many firms demand a pregnancy test at the time of a job interview and even subsidize sterilization surgeries. Sterilization is prohibited by law and by the medical ethical code. We are not talking about sterilization curative or therapeutic that occurs in cases such as removal of a tumor but are speaking of sterilization as a contraceptive method, voluntary, coerced or induced.
