reproductive health. The State indicated that the Salvador Institute for the Advancement of Women had undertaken actions “to increase the information on their rights available to women at the local level through the Municipal Committees for the Prevention Of Violence, mobile information units, awareness-raising campaigns, advisory committees, and the Social Comptroller’s Office. Also, by the elaboration of municipal plans for equality and prevention of violence against women, and the National Intersectoral Strategy to Prevent Child and Adolescent Pregnancies.” 298. The Court appreciates the efforts made by the State to provide training in this regard. However, it finds it pertinent to order that, within two years, the State design and implement, within the school curriculum, special content “on sexuality and reproduction that is comprehensive, non-discriminatory, evidence-based, scientifically accurate and ageappropriate, [... and] that take[s] into account the evolving capacities of children and adolescents.”451 During the first year after notification of this judgment, the State must report on the progress made in the design and implementation of this measure. D.6 Attention in cases of obstetric emergencies 299. The Commission recommended “review and adapt discriminatory institutional practices within the […] health sector.” The representatives asked that the State “adopt health protocols that ensure comprehensive health care (including for sexual and reproductive health) for girls and women in El Salvador, in keeping with the highest international human rights standards.” 300. The Court notes that the State possesses various Ministry of Health manuals and guidelines concerning obstetric care. 452 However, it finds it necessary to order the State to take forthwith the measures required to ensure comprehensive medical attention for women who suffer obstetric emergencies. The Court will monitor compliance with this measure for three years. E. Compensation 301. The Commission indicated that the State should “adopt measures to provide financial compensation and satisfaction for the non-pecuniary damage. Taking Manuela’s death into account, these measures should be implemented in favor of her family unit.” E.1 Pecuniary damage 302. The representatives asked the Court to establish the sum of US$200,000.00 as consequential damage, to be distributed among the members of Manuela’s family, arguing that the Court should take into account: (i) the elevated cost of the transportation, board and lodging for the family members to visit her in the hospital and, subsequently, in prison; (ii) the expenses relating to Manuela’s burial; (iii) the fact that the family members had actively sought to obtain justice and to establish the truth of what happened, which meant that they had to abandon their daily occupations. The representatives indicated that, given that nine The CESCR has ruled similarly in General Comment No 22 on the right to sexual and reproductive health (Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights), paras. 9 and 49. 451 Cf.
