This article focuses on the many reproductive right violations that take place throughout the world. This particularly affects women and as a result, worldwide, many women are left without adequate reproductive healthcare. Part I of this article first explains reproductive health as a human right. Part II explains the reality of reproductive health, namely that governments tend to be the largest providers for reproductive health and yet this right is hardly respected on a consistent basis in practically every country. The conclusion of this article explains how governments and other health providers need to take accountability.
