Reproductive rights refer to the legal rights and freedoms relating to reproduction and reproductive health. These include the right to access safe and legal abortion, the right to make decisions about one's own reproductive health without coercion, and protections against non-consensual medical procedures. Reproductive rights aim to ensure individuals have autonomy over their reproductive choices and access to appropriate healthcare services.

Restrictive abortion laws limit access to safe and legal abortion services, often leading to challenges for individuals seeking to terminate pregnancies. Critics argue these laws can endanger health, violate personal autonomy, and disproportionately affect marginalized groups. Supporters of such laws often base their stance on moral, ethical, or religious grounds, creating an ongoing debate about balancing rights and protections.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) primarily affects girls and women in certain cultural or regional contexts where the practice is performed. It involves altering or injuring female genitalia for non-medical reasons and is internationally recognized as a violation of human rights. FGM can lead to serious health risks, including infections, complications in childbirth, and long-term psychological trauma.

Healthcare discrimination related to reproductive potential can occur when individuals face biased or unequal treatment based on their ability or decision to reproduce. This includes discrimination against those seeking contraception, abortion, fertility treatments, or those who have conditions affecting fertility. Such discrimination can result in reduced access to quality care, stigmatization, and infringement of personal autonomy.

My mother was a midwife in Canada. I learned about FGM from her when she had a client who had to undergo surgery just to be able to give birth safely, let alone the original pain and mutilation she underwent and all the problems in between. I know it is hard for a culture to change, but this is one practice that absolutely must be eliminated.
This is inhumane and goes against human rights. As a women, the least I can do is advocate for the many other women who are facing such suffering. This is not okay, and awareness should be brought to this issue.
