El Centro de Derechos Reproductivos y la Colectiva Feminista presentarán detalles del caso Manuela contra El Salvador que será presentado ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH) el próximo 10 y 11 de marzo. La audiencia determinara la responsabilidad internacional de El Salvador por encarcelar a mujeres que sufren complicaciones de sus embarazos.

La decisión tendrá también efectos a nivel continental pues los derechos humanos que se reconozcan allí generarán jurisprudencia que entrará a formar parte del Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos el cual es reconocido por la mayor parte de países en América Latina y el Caribe.

Sobre el caso:
De acuerdo con el caso, los hechos son los siguientes: Manuela era una salvadoreña de escasos recursos, vivía en una zona rural y no sabía leer ni escribir. Un día de 2008 se dirigió a evacuar a la letrina que se encontraba a unos metros de su casa porque empezó a sentir un fuerte dolor pélvico y abdominal. Ella no lo sabía, pero en ese momento tuvo una emergencia obstétrica: expulsó un feto y se desmayó, se trató de un parto precipitado a causa de su precaria salud.
Llegó al hospital, pero en vez de tratar su grave estado de salud, el personal médico la denunció por el supuesto delito de aborto, ya que creyeron que escondía una supuesta «infidelidad». La Policía la engrilletó a la camilla y la interrogó sin la presencia de un abogado.
Manuela fue indebidamente condenada a 30 años de prisión por el supuesto delito de homicidio agravado y murió en 2010, privada de la libertad y dejando huérfanos a dos hijos, porque el Estado no le brindó diagnóstico ni tratamiento apropiado para un cáncer linfático que se le desarrolló y que era la razón de los quebrantos de salud que le causaron la emergencia obstétrica.
Este litigio empezó en 2012 cuando el Centro de Derechos Reproductivos y la Colectiva Feminista presentaron el caso ante la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. En octubre de 2019 la Comisión decidió presentar el caso ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos considerando que el Estado salvadoreño había violado varios derechos humanos de Manuela, entre ellos, el derecho a la vida, la salud, a las protecciones y garantías judiciales, a estar libre de discriminación y violencia de género.

FLORENCE, Italy, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Villa Mangiacane, Michelangelo’s hidden masterpiece in the heart of Tuscany, is set to begin producing a new organic Super Tuscan wine.
Mangiacane’s new winery director, Antonio Spurio is a student of the great enologist, Carlo Ferrini, with whom he collaborated for about 17 years. Spurio noted that, «Besides growing Sangiovese and continuing with the great wines produced in these parts, I am convinced that this is the perfect area to create a new Super Tuscan made of Cabernet Franc. We can only anticipate that the grapes will follow a very natural vinification process, and the idea is to cultivate perfect grapes, so they do not need any additional techniques in the cellar.»
Spurio added, «The transition to organic cultivation is essential. We want to have a balance as natural as possible with the nature surrounding the estate.»
Mangiacane’s rich history dates back to the late 14th century. The villa was built by the Machiavelli family and designed by Michelangelo, the famed Italian sculpture, painter and architect of the High Renaissance. Michelangelo is considered one of the greatest artists of all time, and under the patronage of the great Medici family, he produced some of the most famous works of art in history.
Because of the historical significance of the villa’s initial owner and architect, the original building plans for improvements are housed at the world famous Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The Machiavelli family sold the villa in 1646 to the distinguished aristocratic Mazzei family who were the premium wine producers at the time and continue to be.
In 2001, the property was acquired by its current owner, who invested in a multi-million dollar renovation plan to restore the villa to its former splendor. The restoration was completed in 2007, and the villa opened its doors.
Current owner Glynn Cohen, a businessman, philanthropist and keen supporter of the arts, is known for his support of The Friends of Florence, and in particular, the renovation of Michelangelo’s The David in the Academia in Florence where there is a plaque mentioning Mangiacane.
Mr Cohen welcomed this move noting, «We will begin the conversion to organic farming immediately. It is the only way to leave our children better land, rich in biodiversity and free of pollutants.»

MCLEAN, Va., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, FARE, the world’s leading non-governmental organization engaged in food allergy advocacy and the largest private funder of food allergy research, announced that the <a target="_blank"…
MCLEAN, Va., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, FARE, the world’s leading non-governmental organization engaged in food allergy advocacy and the largest private funder of food allergy research, announced that the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (FASTER) Act, S. 578, was unanimously passed last night by the United States Senate. The bipartisan sesame labeling bill, which is FARE’s highest legislative priority, was introduced by Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT).
«On behalf of the nearly 1.6 million Americans who are allergic to sesame and live with the fear they could unknowingly consume this dangerous allergen, I thank Senator Scott and Senator Murphy for bringing this critical piece of bipartisan legislation forward and the entire Senate for their overwhelming support,» said Lisa Gable, chief executive officer of FARE. «We now look forward to the House of Representatives passing the FASTER Act and sending it on to the President for his signature and enacting it into law.»
The FASTER Act would require that sesame be labeled as an allergen on packaged foods. Sesame would become the ninth food allergen for which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires plain-language labeling. Sesame is often used when a label reads «natural flavors» or «natural spices,» adding another layer of difficulty when consumers review product labels at their local grocery store.
The bill would also require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue a report on scientific opportunities in food allergy research that examines prevention, treatment, and new cures. In addition, the legislation establishes a risk-based scientific process and framework for establishing additional allergens covered by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
«With more than 32 million Americans living with food allergies, it’s important for us to take targeted steps to address the growing challenges posed by food allergies and to protect those who are vulnerable,» said Senator Scott. «Nationwide, caring for children with food allergies costs an average of $25 billion annually and can pose extreme hardships on low- and middle-income families. I’m glad that this bipartisan legislation passed the Senate and hope that we can continue to make progress for Americans affected by this issue.»
Said Gable, «I am delighted that Senators Collins (R-ME), Gillibrand (D-NY), Tillis (R-NC), Blumenthal (D-CT), Baldwin (D-WI), Marshall (R-KS), and Warnock (D-GA) are demonstrating their support for the food allergy community as original co sponsors of this life changing legislation.»
The Senate’s passage comes a week after Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA-6) and Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) introduced the same bipartisan bill, Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (FASTER) Act of 2021 (H.R. 1202) in the U.S. House of Representatives.
FARE will continue meeting virtually with members of the House of Representatives to gain support for the FASTER Act and will mobilize advocates to ask that they sign on as cosponsors. The legislation will be front and center when FARE hosts its second annual advocacy event, Courage at Congress 2021: Advocate for a Cure, taking place virtually from March 8-10.

- Toxic exposures – granting access to care for warriors ill due to toxic exposures while in service.
- Women veterans – access to care, military to civilian transition, and PTSD related to military sexual trauma.
