This paper is about sexual and reproductive health and rights, especially the issue of unsafe abortion and female genital mutilation. Sexual and reproductive health and rights present the most vital part of every society, and thus should be treated with the highest importance. The selected fields of these rights, unsafe abortion and female genital mutilation, highlight a small part of the possible violation of these same human rights, while at the same time, revealing the gravity of bad practices that stand behind it. The proposed strategies for affecting these issues mainly rely on well-developed international policies, not excluding any of the recognized duty barriers.
The United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner provided the list of human rights that imply the sexual and reproductive health and rights, and those are: the right to life, the right to be free from torture, the right to health, the right to privacy, the right to education, and the prohibition of discrimination. In addition, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women have clearly defined that women's right to health include their sexual and reproductive health. The human rights that derive from sexual and reproductive health include access to sexual and reproductive healthcare and information as well as autonomy in sexual and reproductive decision-making.
