Women and girls have the right to make their own decisions about their lives and their sexual and reproductive health. Yet the discrimination they face means they are denied this right. When they die or are injured in pregnancy or childbirth the devastating impact of this denial of rights is only too clear. With access to health care, information and decision-making power, these deaths and injuries are easily preventable. Governments must ensure that women and girls are able to claim their sexual and reproductive rights.
