the Report: My Body, My Rights
Being able to make our own decisions about our health,
body sexuality and reproductive life is a basic human right. Yet all over the
world, many of us are persecuted for making these choices – or prevented from
doing so at all. That's why we've launched our global campaign: My Body, My Rights.
My Body My Rights is Amnesty International's global
campaign to help ensure that everyone has access to their sexual and
reproductive rights and to stop criminalization of sexuality and reproduction
by governments. Over 2014-15, we are working for tangible change in people's
lives in Nepal, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and
Ireland. It's your body,
know your rights!
You have the right to:
Women and girls and people from groups at
risk of discrimination on other grounds, including sexuality and ethnicity, are
disproportionately affected by restrictions on their sexual and reproductive rights. For example, young women and adolescent
girls from marginalized groups are most affected due to the inequality and
discrimination they face, preventing them from accessing the sexual and
reproductive health information and services they need.
Everyone has the right to have access to quality,
comprehensive, integrated sexual and reproductive health services, counseling,
comprehensive sexuality education and information. Barriers to the services and
information women and girls need for a healthy life must be removed.
It's your body. Know your rights!
