    Why We Oppose Maduro’s Constituent Assembly

  • Health

    Human Rights Watch believes that decisions about abortion belong to a pregnant woman without interference by the state or others.

    The denial of a pregnant woman's right to make an independent decision regarding abortion violates or poses a threat to a wide range of human rights. Any restriction on abortion that unreasonably interferes with a woman's exercise of her full range of human rights is unacceptable.

    Governments should take all necessary steps, both immediate and incremental, to ensure that women have informed and free access to safe and legal abortion services as an element of women's exercise of their reproductive and other human rights.
