Green Wave (abortion rights)

The Green Wave or Green Tide (Spanish: "Marea verde") is a grouping of abortion-rights movements in various countries in the Americas that have collectively adopted the colour green as a symbol of their movement and successfully pushed governments to expand abortion access in multiple countries across Latin America, a region known for some of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the world. While Latin America is a diverse region with a large range of abortion policies, the Green Wave has made its way across the area and has had a profound impact on abortion policies.
