The proposed legislation prohibits both abortion and Female Genital Mutilation in the southern Africa state.
However, the proposed law has been sharply criticized by, among others, ISABEL DOS SANTOS, the daughter of veteran President JOSE EDUARDO DOS SANTOS.
The mostly female protesters chanted “Freedom for women”, “Prison will not solve anything” and “Let us decide”.
Under the draft law, procuring an abortion will attract a sentence of between four to 10 years in jail.
