Women and girls around the world, especially women and girls living in poverty, are restricted or unrestricted from accessing reproductive health and rights related information and services. Some barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights include discrimination, stigma, restrictive laws and policies, and deep-rooted traditions. There is evidence that these rights may affect not only individual women but also families, communities, and the national economy, progress is still slow. In order to promote equality, we must all actively and positively address the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all women, girls and transgender people.

In 1995, I went to Beijing and attended the 4th World Women's Conference. I talked about human rights abuses in China - including infringement of reproductive rights. Conference information is still spreading all over the world. Women's rights are human rights. Reproductive rights are also human rights. We need to abolish the laws that make it more difficult for low-income women and color-biased women like Hyde revision to exercise complete reproductive rights. We need to be eroded with state level rights, and Republicans have signed a law aimed at insulting women, compelling women, and understanding how family planning is done. We need to ensure that patients and staff safely enter the health center without harassment, bullying or violence. We must always and always confront brave women and men in our country promising to provide safe and legitimate abortion care.
