Abstract

The idea of this paper is to draw some insight on the appropriation of sexual and reproductive rights of women when in Argentina its regulatory acknowledgment is being widened and deepened. The
objective is to describe how these rights are put forth in the law and women's opinion regarding gender, sexual and reproductive rights, in general, and abortion, in particular, and regarding sexual identities. We worked with existing legislation and the results of a qualitative study carried out with focus groups of women over 18 and residing in the City of Buenos Aires.3The findings show a gap between the legal discourse and the opinion of women, which also differs according to age and socioeconomic status. Women do not speak about a conception of rights, nor from a gender-oriented perspective, and the subjective appropriation of rights varies according to the analyzed issues.
