Sexual and Reproductive Health

An estimated 225 million women in developing countries would like to delay or stop childbearing but are not using any method of contraception (Sedgh et al, 2016). Family planning is necessary for ensuring the autonomy and health of women and their families. Maintaining a high level of care in family planning is of utmost importance for achieving high standards of health for everyone globally. In regards to contraceptive information and services, it is one’s fundamental right to choose from different methods, a right to proper and evidence-based information on those methods, the risks and benefits involved, as well as the right to proper and respectful care, and guaranteed privacy and confidentiality.
