Abstract
Introduction
The risk factors for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases after the forced and unprotected sex are well known.
Objective
We aimed to investigate direct and indirect factors associated to the late-term abortion after rape.
Method
A search was performed in Medline, SciELO, LILACS and The Cochrane Library using the intersection between the keywords “rape or sex offenses”, “pregnancy”, “abortion”, including indexed articles published between 2009 and 2014.
Results
The selected studies demonstrated that it lacks in the literature studies which analyze factors directly related to late-term abortion in cases of rape, only indirect aspects.
Conclusion
Indirect evidences showed how different policies and proceedings can contribute to avoid a late-term and unsafe abortion: sexuality and reproductive health education, ending rape impunity and decriminalizing abortion, improving access to safe early abortions by removing unnecessary legal and regulatory restrictions, exchanging information to optimize processes and procedures, prioritizing the interests of the victim, better enabling teams in health services, and the prevention of pregnancy and STI, including HIV infection.
