The anti-abortion bill championed by far-right factions is unraveling from within, as one of its promoters, Ximena Ossandón, a deputy from the National Renewal (RN) party, announced she will withdraw her support and admitted it was a "mistake" to sponsor the legislation.

The proposed law ‘Listen to Her Heart’, driven by far-right lawmakers, advocates requiring women to hear fetal heartbeats before undergoing an abortion. This initiative continues to stir controversy due to its lack of clinical foundation and is viewed as a form of obstetric violence.

As opposition mounts, Constanza Schönhaut from the Broad Front declares, "We will not take a step back," while condemning a new bill from far-right lawmakers that seeks to impose conditions on legal abortion access, which critics describe as turning it into an "act of torture."

A woman who has experienced rape, fetal unviability, or life-threatening conditions due to a pregnancy is going through an intensely psychological and emotional ordeal. Therefore, forcing her to listen to a heartbeat before being allowed to terminate the pregnancy is cruel and serves only to instill guilt, maintained the PC legislator.

Statistics demonstrate that this discussion goes beyond individual perception. The II National Survey on Time Use (ENUT 2023) from the National Institute of Statistics indicated that, in Chile, women spend an average of 2 hours and 5 minutes more per day than men on unpaid labor. When they also engage in the labor market, their overall workload exceeds 10.5 hours daily, significantly greater than that of men.

Women have never been mere recipients of the consequences of war. They have been vital actors in conflict prevention, community protection, social fabric preservation, and rebuilding what wars have destroyed. The international community recognized this reality with the adoption of Resolution 1325, which stated that women are essential partners in conflict prevention and resolution, as well as peacebuilding.

The Rural Women Program has enabled women in rural areas to gain access to their own resources, expanding their decision-making authority and autonomy regarding their life paths. This principle represents a concrete transformation horizon for each group of participating women, leading to significant changes in their everyday living environments.

The case of Ornella Uribe, a Carabineros officer, has sparked a critical examination of femicidal suicide—a concept that highlights the extreme impact of gender violence on women, particularly in contexts where previous domestic abuse has occurred.

The Chilean cherry serves as a metaphor for an economy that shines outward while hiding its roots in disempowerment. It glitters in international supermarkets, fuels export numbers, and upholds the narrative of a modern, competitive country open to the global market. However, behind that image lie invisible bodies: migrant women, temporary workers, and racialized individuals, who often work without contracts, without social protection, and are exposed to exhausting hours in the fields.

Decades of research continue to demonstrate that women are concentrated in precarious jobs that are socially and economically undervalued, resulting in lower wages. Furthermore, during crises, women are often the first to face unemployment. These inequalities become even more pronounced when women become mothers.
