#Uruguay became the first country in the world to #legalise the sale of #marijuana across its entire territory.
It has long been at the forefront of #liberal policies not only in #SouthAmerica but worldwide.
A #divorce law that allowed women to separate from their husbands simply by asking a court for permission was passed in 1913.
#Abortion was legalised in 2012.
Part of the reason for Uruguay’s liberal temperament is a longstanding separation of #church and #state.
