European Parliament resolution calls for full realization of sexual
and reproductive health and rights.
[link removed]
The European Parliament passed a resolution affirming that sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are fundamental human rights
that must be upheld by European Union (EU) Member States.
The resolution is the first SRHR resolution passed by the Parliament
in almost 20 years and calls for removal of all barriers in accessing
abortion, modern contraception, quality maternal health care, assisted
reproductive technologies and comprehensive sexuality education. It
also includes recommendations for EU Member States to ensure that
their national laws and policies guarantee SRHR free from
discrimination, coercion and violence, and promote accessibility of
SRHR health services, information, and education.

reproductive rights in the country.

Rights is working to prevent and halt this alarming trend of
