Construcción discursiva de la prensa escrita sobre el aborto en mujeres Kichwas Otavalo y Saraguro

Abstract

Abortion is a complex issue for Ecuadorian society, its policies criminalize women who have an abortion. Ecuador's health systems are deficient and do not have an exact number of induced abortions. This research aims to place abortion as a topic of social, academic interest and of a deep investigation of the media when referring to this topic. In addition, we intend to make visible and evidence the abortions that exist in indigenous women, specifically in the Kichwas Otavalo and Saraguros and how the local written media represent the Kichwa women who live or lived that process, in this way we discovered that the Kichwa women are silenced and not they are the protagonists of their own stories. Abortion continues in Kichwa women like any other woman.
