Summary
Reproductive health encompasses being able to control one’s fertility through access to contraception and abortion, being free from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual dysfunction and sequelae related to sexual violence or female genital mutilation. It also includes the possibility of safe sexual experiences free of coercion, discrimination and/or violence. Although the recognition of SRH as an essential component of human rights dates back to the second half of the twentieth century, the full achievement of these rights remains elusive for many [2].
