- The right to sexual health is a crucial aspect of the basic right to health, allowing individuals to make free choices about their sexual and reproductive health without facing discrimination.
- This right is interconnected with other human rights, such as access to information and equality, and its fulfillment enhances not only maternal and neonatal health but also the safety of healthcare workers and the delivery of essential medical services.
- Despite its importance, many individuals face violations of their sexual and reproductive rights due to increasing stigma and discrimination, particularly related to abortion and contraception, which FIGO aims to combat by advocating for accessible, equitable care and supporting vulnerable populations.
