As result of violence, women are hindered in their social life, repressed and psychologically shaken. It is a public health problem of great magnitude in the world. It is known that women are more vulnerable to health problems and has unique needs, differentiated from other groups in society, such as prevention, control and combat to physical and mental illnesses. According to the National Policy for Integral Attention to Women's Health, these injuries are more linked with gender issues such as the situation of discrimination in society than to biological factors. Gender inequalities, historically produced and legitimated by culture and society, put women in inferiority and depreciation position.

Background: About 7% of rape cases in Brazil result in pregnancy.Overall, Brazilian women are unaware of the right to legal interruption of pregnancy after rape, so they delay in applying the procedure to get a legal abortion or at the end they try to abort in a condition that may be unsafe. Objective:To analyse factors associated with the leadtime to have a legal abortion after rape.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The data were collected from electronical medical records of 1,270 women who requested legal abortion in a public hospital in São Paulo during the period of 1994 to 2013. The variables age, education, race, marital status, religion, form of intimidation, vulnerable condition, perpetrator of sexual violence, number of perpetrators, and police report were analysed in relation to gestational age, according to multiple multinomial logistic regression models. Results BackgroundSexual crimes particularly affect vulnerable young females and may be associated with physical trauma, mortality, sexual disorders, unwanted pregnancy, and psychological consequences. Damages to reproductive health include increased risk of infertility, anogenital cancer, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) [1]. In addition to representing a public health problem in developing countries, the subject of discussing the conflict of interrupting an unwanted pregnancy, as a consequence of a rape or not, requires a well informed decision making proccess, covering the scope of legal, moral, religious, social, and cultural aspects that are linked to it [2].Emerging data on violence against females around the world suggest that in some countries, one in five female suffer rape or attempted rape in their lifetime. Recent research on the behaviour, attitudes, and sexual experiences of young people in areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America revealed that between 5 and 20% of females' first sexual experience was forced. Regardless of whether they have access to contraception, a forced sexual act is usually unprotected, exposing females not only to unwanted pregnancy but also to STDs, including HIV [3].In Brazil, about 7% of rape cases resulted in pregnancy. Under Brazilian law, the victim of this type of violence has the right to abort. However, 67.4% of females who were pregnant after being raped didn't get the access to legal abortion in a The delay verified in the decision to search for legal termination of pregnancy cannot be attributed to or explained by the cost of abortion in Brazil. The Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) ensures full and free coverage for abortion in these cases, regardless of the woman has any sort of health insurance. Therefore, the females who have participated in this study did not face any financial barriers to make legal abortion.According to the Allan Guttmacher Institute, the highest rates of abortions were observed between 1995 and 2008 mainly in those regions where laws against abortion are more rigid. In 2008, an average of 28 women per thousand carried out an abortion, indicating a...

“…The objection of conscience stand out from other regulatory barriers to the legal termination of pregnancy 32,34 because it based on moral, religious and/or philosophical principles 12 . Thus, as a discursive formation, the prerogative carried the whole weight of hegemonic moral rules and ideologically aligns itself with them.…”

Resumo: Este artigo objetivou compreender a objeção de consciência com base na análise das formações ideológicas que permeiam o acesso ao abortamento legal decorrente de violência sexual na concepção de trabalhadores e gestores que atuam em serviços de referência. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa mediante a participação de 20 trabalhadores (seis exerciam, também, a gestão) desses serviços a um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. O método de análise usado foi a análise do discurso. Os resultados evidenciam que a objeção de consciência emergiu como elemento discursivo central às mesmas. A análise contextualizada dos discursos evidenciou uma instrumentalização da prerrogativa por razões ideológicas, confluindo para a organização dos resultados nas seguintes categorias: a instrumentalização da objeção de consciência e a desarticulação da rede; e a instrumentalização da objeção de consciência a fim de vigiar e punir. Conclui-se que a objeção de consciência como formação discursiva foi ressignificada, a fim de compor um complexo e refinado sistema de sabotagem interna - consciente e inconsciente - dos serviços de atendimento à mulher em situação de violência sexual, apesar dos marcos e avanços legais.
