This is The Equal Rights Trust's amicus curie brief in the case of Gretel Artavia Murillo et al ("In Vitro Fertilization") v Costa Rica. The brief focused on the discriminatory impact of the total ban on in vitro fertilisation on women and infertile persons. Specifically, the brief argued that the total ban imposed by Costa Rica violated the right to equality and non-discrimination with respect to the rights to privacy and family enshrined in the American Convention on Human Rights. The ban disproportionately affected women and infertile persons, and permitted discriminatory interference into the right to a family.
