Article 137 of the Paraguay Penal Code provides a lower penalty for sexual offences against adolescent girls between the ages of 14 – 16 than for rape of a child or a woman. This provision is known as an \u2018estupro\u2019 provision. Estupro provisions too often result in impunity for rapists when the victim is between 14 and 16 years old.<\/p>\n
