On 20 December 2013, the Spanish Council of Ministers approved a draft bill aiming at reforming the current law on sexual and reproductive health and rights. If approved, this new bill would lead to a 30 years step backwards in the rights of women and the failure of the Government to fulfill its fundamental role to promote gender equality and human rights.
Additionally, 2014 is celebrating 20 years of the international human rights agreement on sexual and reproductive health and rights, the Cairo Programme of Action and Europe should be leading the way on ensuring women’s full enjoyment of their human rights, including their sexual and reproductive rights.
Sexual and reproductive health and rights are human rights!
Women should have the right to decide!!
The right to safe abortion should be respected by all European countries!
