The 2009 Constitutional Court judgment that rules the Ministry of Health to refrain from developing as a public policy the free nationwide distribution of the Emergency Contraceptive Pills has direct effects on the exercise of the sexual and reproductive rights of girls and women in Peru. This decision mainly affects those who are in a situation of poverty and / or live in rural areas. The Emergency Contraceptive Pills are rendered inaccessible due to persistent economic and geographic barriers, resulting in the prevalence of an alarming number of cases of unintended and / or forced pregnancies. In addition, it the denies the recognition of the autonomy and sexual integrity of women, as well as implies a setback in the application of the principles of progressiveness, a higher level of health and the best interests of girls and female adolescents. Given this context, this legal report addresses the need for a public policy regarding free access to contraceptive methods, including the emergency oral contraception, in order to comply with the obligation to guarantee sexual and reproductive rights in accordance with the international standards of human rights.
