Understanding your sexual and reproductive health rights

Abstract

Rights are a list of promises put in place to make sure that you are treated fairly and looked after properly. Rights are usually included in documents such as the constitution of the country, therefore when something is your right, that means that nobody can take it away from you. It is yours, and is meant to protect you and help you to have a good life. When we talk about sexual and reproductive health rights, this refers to a list of promises to keep you safe and help you make safe decisions about your sexual and reproductive health. Sexual and reproductive health is about how you feel and are treated in the area of your life that has to do with sex and reproduction.
