Reproductive rights are human rights, as is having access to clean water, the freedom to express yourself, and the right to govern over your own life. On a day-to-day basis, most people will not face a direct assault on their human rights. However, for some, each new day brings with it a brutal, intentional attack that is intended to violate multiple basic rights.
This is the daily reality endured by thousands of people who are facing, or fleeing conflict.
Do you know what reproductive rights are, who they apply to, and what they involve?
Often, the reproductive rights narrative is minimized to:
● Women’s Rights
● Abortion
● STDs
Not only is this limited narrative incorrect—and, in some cases, harmful— it also does not fully reflect the impact, success, and importance of reproductive health care for all people in fully claiming, and enjoying their human rights.
