Brief Description

Launched in December 2022 by the Ministry of Health in partnership with SEMUJER, it was developed using a highly participatory and representative methodology involving the public sector, academia, feminist organizations, and international cooperation. Dissemination sessions and training workshops were held with stakeholders. This protocol includes the use of emergency contraception (the morning-after pill) and is a key tool for providing timely and comprehensive care to women and girls who are victims of sexual violence, both in public and private healthcare settings.

Lanzado en diciembre de 2022 por la Secretaría de Salud en alianza con SEMUJER, construido bajo una metodología altamente participativa y representativa del sector público, academia, organizaciones feministas y cooperación internacional; se realizaron jornadas de socialización y procesos de formación a través de talleres con actores vinculados con la temática. Dicho Protocolo integra el uso de la PAE (Píldora Anticonceptiva de Emergencia). Constituye una herramienta importante de respuesta a las mujeres y niñas víctimas de violencia sexual, para que los proveedores de servicios de salud a nivel público y privado, brinden atención integral y oportuna.
