Resumo: The article presents the author's views on the move of health ministers from Latin American countries to recommend to women to postpone pregnancy in the face of the Zika virus outbreak. She thinks that the recommendation solely targets a specific issue rather than address general concerns over women reproductive health in the region. The author refers the women's health issues to barriers including poor quality sex education, poor access to contraceptives, high prevalence of rape, and culture.
