From: How do national contraception laws and policies address the contraceptive needs of adolescents in Paraguay?

  1. *There is normative guidance for the first part of 3.3 (i.e. for disadvantaged individuals to obtain contraceptives), including specific provisions for adolescents. Regarding the second part of 3.3, abortion is illegal in Paraguay, and so the normative guidance contains no information on safe abortion and services. However it recommends humane post-abortion care
  2. Green = Specific normative guidance pertaining to adolescents is present
  3. Yellow = Normative guidance pertaining to all populations (but not specifically adolescents) is present
  4. Gray = Normative guidance for that recommendation is not present Contains no reference in the Paraguayan normative law and policies
