BODILY AUTONOMY IS A HUMAN RIGHT

In recent years, Republican lawmakers in the United States have launched an all-out assault on women’s rights. From restricting access to abortion and birth control to denying equal pay and blocking protections for victims of gender-based violence, these actions threaten the very foundation of gender equality.

One of the most egregious examples is the relentless attacks on reproductive rights. Laws that severely limit access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare services have been passed in states across the country, effectively denying women the right to make decisions about their own bodies and futures.

But bodily autonomy is not just a women’s issue – it is a human right. Everyone deserves the right to make decisions about their own bodies without interference from the government or others. Denying this fundamental right is not only unjust but also dangerous, as it can lead to a host of negative outcomes, including higher rates of maternal mortality, unintended pregnancies, and unsafe abortions.

It’s time for lawmakers to recognise that reproductive rights and bodily autonomy are essential components of gender equality and human rights. We must fight back against these attempts to restrict women’s rights and advocate for policies that promote bodily autonomy and reproductive justice for all.
