The Kerala High Court released an order stating that a woman cannot be restricted from exercising her right to reproductive choices and decides whether to continue the pregnancy or not.

Raising awareness and destigmatising abortion enables us to better fight for women’s reproductive rights so that they are not hidden out of sight and easier to attack.

Women’s bodies men’s rights? Aren’t reproductive rights basic human rights? When it comes to women’s reproductive health and rights men’s voices have been echoing more than women’s. But why

Even modest barriers to sexual and reproductive health services can have major health effects.

Women’s rights activists disrupted Sunday masses across various Polish cities – Warsaw, Przeworsk, and Poznań – to protest against the new ruling that illegalised the abortion of a foetus with congenital defects.

The court took the decision after doctors advised that cosmetic surgery could easily treat the foetus’ deformities – cleft lip and palate.

SheThePeople reached out to two lawyers who have been litigating on MTP cases to understand the realities of the women who reach out to courts to access their right to abortion.

The bill allows for abortion even beyond a period of 24 weeks for foetuses that are “abnormal” that is the children that could be born with disabilities.

Women who had fewer than the legally permitted limit of two children were reportedly fitted with intrauterine contraceptives, involuntarily.

The decision regarding whether to continue a pregnancy or terminate it, should fundamentally be the decision of a woman and Indian judiciary ensures that.
