This article analyzes two paradigmatic cases of violence in the sphere of sexual and (non) reproductive health in a provincial space such as Tucuman: the case of Belen (2014) and the case of Lucia (2019) from a human rights and sexual and (non) reproductive perspective. Based on the premise that the access to sexual rights, to a fullness sexual and reproductive life and a life free of violence of all sorts, these are all rights for all argentinian women. The States have the responsibility to accomplish the commitments acquired in international treaties and to promote laws in correspondence. However, in these cases the provincial State failed through its health and judicial institutions and its Executive Power, but the feminist movement made possible to stop the violence towards Lucía and Belen.
