Women’s March 2020: March for our human rights

We march once again. When our rights are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP, FIGHT BACK.

We are proud to be partnering with Women’s March Global on 18th Jan 2020 for the March For Our Human Rights – the first women’s rights march of the new decade.

This year’s March for Our Human Rights, focuses on bodily autonomy, which is the right to have control over one’s own body without coercion or external pressures. This includes abortion rights, sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), sexual consent, period equality, family planning, access to healthcare services and information, and more.

We cannot ignore the global rollback on sexual and reproductive health and rights

In the last year alone, women’s sexual and reproductive and other human rights have experienced a massive rollback around the world. At a recent United Nations General Assembly meeting, the United States joined 19 member states, including Bahrain, Belarus, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen in declaring that women have no international right to abortion. The member states who denied women access to safe and legal abortion represent 1.3 billion people.
