Digital, sexual, and reproductive rights are interdependent and must be understood as human rights. Digital rights can also be a tool to guarantee access to sexual and reproductive rights (SRR).
The Internet must be understood as an essential public service that states must guarantee. In the same way that access barriers for historically discriminated populations are considered for other public services, the virtual space must consider the historical inequities that represent access gaps for women.
Recognizing this complementarity between SRR and digital rights raises opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, it opens the possibility of promoting creative strategies for promoting SRR through digital platforms, accompanying women and people who defend the right to abortion, expanding awareness about the consequences of the criminalization of abortion, and co-creating new tools to access this right.
On the other hand, it presents the challenge of counteracting the growing online violence against women and sexual dissidence and the difficulties of regulating digital platforms that must arise from a multilateral agreement that does not violate the limits of freedom of expression.
