Abortion

Dear brothers and sisters,

France has just been becoming world’s first country to enshrine abortion in constitution on 4 March 2024 (1). Now France is the only nation to guarantee the right to an abortion in constitution.(2).

A few weeks before that, February 21, 2024, the Alabama Supreme Court (US) ruled that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization, or IVF, are considered children under Alabama state law and are therefore subject to legislation dealing with the wrongful death of a minor if one is destroyed (3).

Đường trở thành luật sư của cô gái Mông ba lần bị bắt làm vợ

VNE – Thứ tư, 6/3/2024, 06:00 (GMT+7)

YÊN BÁI – Lần thứ ba bị người lạ “kéo vợ”, Sùng Thị Sơ đã định nhảy xuống vách núi nhưng sợ bị thương, không đi thi đại học được.

Kế hoạch của cô gái 18 tuổi cách đây gần bốn năm là chờ tới đêm rồi trốn khỏi nhà người đã bắt mình. Nhưng điện thoại đã bị thu mất, xung quanh không có đèn, đường lại toàn vách núi nên kế hoạch bị phá sản. Để tránh bị xâm hại, Sơ thức trắng hai đêm kể cả khi bị họ ép buộc, thậm chí đánh đập. Khi gọi điện được cho bố mẹ, thuyết phục gia đình người “kéo vợ” đưa về nhà, Sơ vẫn không tin vào may mắn này bởi chưa cô gái nào trong bản bị bắt mà được trở về.

Vài tháng sau đó Sùng Thị Sơ, sinh năm 2002, quê huyện Trấn Yên đã đỗ Đại học Luật Hà Nội với số điểm 28,5. Cùng năm, cô được trao giải học sinh, sinh viên dân tộc xuất sắc nhất năm học 2020-2021.

“Sau ba lần bị bắt làm vợ, tôi quyết tâm thi vào ngành Luật. Tôi muốn những bạn gái vùng sâu vùng xa như mình được đi học, được tôn trọng và tự do lựa chọn trong hôn nhân”, Sơ nói.
