France has learned with dismay of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of America which calls into question the constitutional protection of the right to abortion and jeopardizes long years of fight for equal rights between women. and men.
This step back underscores the importance of our fight so that the right to abortion, inherent in the right to freely dispose of one’s body, is recognized as a fundamental right and can therefore never once more be called into question. Access to abortion is a health and survival issue for young girls and women.
France, champion of the coalition for sexual and reproductive health and rights, is more determined than ever through its feminist diplomacy to advance the rights of women and girls, everywhere and in all circumstances.
