This article draws attention to the process of mapping the criminalization of abortion in Ecuador. As part of a research project carried out in partnership between an academic institution (FLACSO-Ecuador) and civil society organizations (SURKUNA and the Critical Geography Collective of Ecuador).This joint collaboration results in various thematic maps that positions the criminalization of abortion within the continuum of gender-based violence in Ecuador. The article points to key findings resulting from mapping the 243 cases processed for abortion under criminal law in Ecuador, and suggests ways forward for affronting the violation of sexual and reproductive rights.
