In Chile, emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is legal. As of 2015, no prescription is required to purchase EC.<ref>[http://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/2015/09/05/chile-consent-the-morning-after-pill-sale-non-prescription.shtml Chile consent the “morning after pill” non prescription sale]</ref> However, it is a hotly debated and political issue. In 2006, President Michelle Bachelet liberalized contraception policy and made emergency contraception available for free in state-run hospitals, which were available to women ages 14 and up (with no parental consent required).<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/17/world/americas/17chile.html Policy on Morning-After Pill Upsets Chile]</ref> This change inflamed conservative critics. In 2008, the Constitutional Court of Chile banned free distribution of emergency contraception. Furthermore, the court ruled that the hormone levonorgestrel, which is found in EC pills, is “abortive”, and therefore against the right to life.<ref>[https://rewire.news/article/2009/10/19/chile-the-struggle-over-emergency-contraception/ Chile: The Struggle Over Emergency Contraception]</ref> In 2010, a new law allowed teenagers to purchase EC without parental consent.<ref>[http://www.latinpost.com/articles/18075/20140727/sales-of-morning-after-pill-have-tripled-since-2010-in-chile.htm Morning After Pill: Sales Have Tripled Since 2010 in Chile]</ref> | In Chile, emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is legal.

From our source in Chile: "Not many hospitals in Chile offer services specific for trans people and few professionals have been trained to work with them (with all that might imply, for example, getting a prostate exam for a trans woman in comparison with a cis-man); the health services providing specialised attention for trans people are known as poli-trans and are present in some hospitals | ===Laws & Social Stigmas=== | ||

* Victims of sexual violence can consult a Centro de Violencia Sexual (CVS, Centre for Sexual Violence), which are public services financed by the Ministry for Women and Gender Equality. The work done by the CVS is very good but there are only about 3 centers across all of Chile, so the waiting list is HUGE; in any case they will be able to refer people needing urgent assistance to the best options close to them. | |||
* People suffering gender violence can contact the Centros de la Mujer (Women's centers), which are basically shelters offering services for women suffering domestic violence. | |||
* As a result of recent scandals of sexual assault and harassment within educational establishment, many students of different universities of Chile have organized in groups known as Secretarías de Género or Vocalías de Género to offer support to other students victim of gender violence, so if a user of the website is visiting Chile to study, they can make contact with the Vocalía/Secretaría de Género of their university (not all universities have one) and find some sort of support. | |||
