Many women suffer extreme inconveniences and some even lose their lives in the process due to lack of knowledge of their reproductive rights. This makes it fundamental to enlighten and educate women on their reproductive rights.

Reproductive rights are human rights — the right to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing, and timing of children, and to have the information and means to do so.

They also include the right to:
✅ Access safe, effective, affordable contraception
✅ Receive accurate sexual health education
✅ Choose safe motherhood without coercion
✅ Protect oneself from gender-based violence and harmful practices

These rights should be ensured and protected for all women to ensure a safer society for women.

According to the United Nations, only 55% of women worldwide have full autonomy over decisions about healthcare, contraception, and sexual relations.
