Reproductive Health
The reproductive rights include the protection of the reproductive health. They state that any person has the right to have free and sound sexual life, without coercion, has the right to decide how many children to have, must have an opportunity to control the birth rate and have access to the information about it and the right to have good health care services, to protect the women and the infants and give a chance to every couple to have healthy children.
The sexual health is one of the constituents of the reproductive health. Its most widely-used definition say that “Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled.”
The problem is that there are no legally accepted definitions of the sexual health in most countries, so it’s hard to work out and adopt laws protecting it. We must work in this direction and have precise definitions of main reproductive rights, internationally recognized, so that the legislation of separate countries have them as the basis of the local laws. This will help to democratize the reproductive rights legislation in many countries and let people all over the world have equal rights.
