WHO-AUDIO_Emergencies_Coronavirus_Press_Conference_June 29 2022

in light of the decision by the US Supreme Court overturning the ‘Roe v Wade’, I want to reaffirm WHO’s position.All women should have the right to choose when it comes to their bodies and health. Full stop.Safe abortion IS health care.It saves lives. Restricting it drives women and girls towards unsafe abortions; resulting in complications, even death.The evidence is irrefutable.Limiting access to safe abortion costs lives and has a major impact particularly on women from the poorest and most marginalized communities.Over the last 40 years, the global trend is toward women having greater access to safe abortion and while last week was a set-back, it is more important than ever to come together to protect women’s right to safe abortion - everywhere.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.
