Every human has the choice to decide what he or she wants to do with their bodies. But cultural perspective has bound some of these rights. Unfortunately women bear the brunt of these cultural beliefs as they are tied to certain rules; when to marry and to whom, whether or not to have children and how many, whether or not to work as a wife. On top of these limited rights which infringe women to certain behaviors, they still face violence in every form just because they are women; the “weaker sex”.
Every woman and girl has sexual and reproductive rights
Access to contraception and abortion
To choose if, when and who to marry
Whether she wants children or not, with who, when and how many
Whether she wants to work and where
She is free to decide
Free to be happy
Free from any harm, pressure or judgment
Free to make mistakes
Free from any form of violence and discrimination

You and I have as obligation to see that women and girls rights are protected in every way.
