8. Women's Health Rights
Women's health rights encompass the right of women to access appropriate healthcare services, make informed choices about their bodies, and receive equitable treatment in health systems. Historically, women's health issues were often neglected, shaped by societal norms and limited legal rights. With the rise of the women's rights movement, advocates fought for the recognition of reproductive rights, maternal health, and protection against discrimination. This ongoing struggle aims to empower women to assert control over their health and well-being, ensuring that they receive the same quality of care and respect as men in all aspects of healthcare.
