Rights and Responsibilities: Healthy Pregnancies, Contraception and Abortion

There are vast disparities around the world in women’s access to effective contraceptive methods; medically accurate information and counseling about how to use them; and safe, affordable abortion services. Our work seeks to document these disparities and persuade decision makers of the benefits of policies and programs that ensure that all women are able to exercise their reproductive rights and responsibilities.
