    Abstract
    The objective of this paper is to lay out some of the debates yet to be resolved surrounding the sexual rights of individuals during childhood and adolescence. This category of rights is one of the domains in which the shortcomings of current regulations designed to protect certain rights of minors and also the absence of a theoretical foundation for human rights for those phases of life are clearly manifested. The lack of a deep discussion on the rights of boys and girls becomes evident when the attempt is made to define sexual and reproductive rights, since while entitlement is sought in some respects – especially for certain reproductive rights for adolescents such as access to contraception – in other respects a continuing effort is made to justify limiting access for the same age group to related rights, the right to contract marriage being one example.[1] [1] In some documents, certain reproductive rights for adolescents are recognized while simultaneously governments are advised to take measures to prevent early marriages and the right to determine a child’s sexual education is also left to the parents, without any explanation of how these discrepancies which can conflict are justified or reconciled. The result is the fundamental characteristic of the legal framework for children’s rights: discretionality.

      The Debate Over Reproductive Rights in Mexico: The Right to Choose vs. the Right to Procreation

      Madrazo, Alejandro (2009-01-01)
      I hold that the right to choose is explicitly established in the Mexican Constitution. Article 4 states in its second paragraph: “All persons have the right to choose in a free, responsible, and informed manner the number and spacing of their children.”[1] It is hard to imagine a constitutional text that speaks more explicitly of the right to choose. In contrast with what has happened elsewhere, where courts have read the right to choose into the constitutional text, the Mexican interpreter need only adopt a strictly textualist interpretation to conclude that, in Mexico, women have the right to choose whether to continue or interrupt a pregnancy. [1] The word “decidir” used in the text of the Constitution is most literally translated as “to decide”. However, when speaking of “the right to choose” in the context of abortion debates, the phrase – taken from English – has been translated into Spanish as “el derecho a decidir”. Women’s rights groups in Mexico advocate “el derecho a decidir”. Given that the clause was inserted in the Constitution during the early 70’s in the wake of international agreements and conferences that were drenched in the language of population planning and women’s rights, I think it is a better translation to use the word “choose” rather than decide when translating the clause into English because when speaking Spanish, we refer to the right to choose as “el derecho a decidir” which coincides literally with the text of the Constitution.
