to overcome the gendered impacts amidst global uncertainty set by the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite ongoing efforts, there is still a lag in the context of gender rights for females like inequalities in care burdens, reproductive health services, and gender-based acts of violence during the post-pandemic recovery, remaining unaddressed.
Need for Women Rights
Some of the rights included by SRHR for women are the following:
- Use modern contraceptive methods
- Sexuality education
- Choose their partner
- Receive information on sexuality
- Safe abortion and post-abortion care
- Women should know about prevention, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and infections
- Women being cautious about health care
- Awareness of medical facilities, contraceptives, and other help
- Protection from HIV/AIDS
- Women should be given safe and legal abortion facilities
Moreover, several setups like The Latin American and Caribbean Women’s Health Network (LACWHN) and Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) strive toward warranting successful women’s healthcare.
The global campaign invites everyone to stand up for the rights of women by sharing their views and drives through social media using the hashtags #ResistAndPersist, #WomensHealthMatters, & #SRHRisEssential.
