HUMAN RIGHT WATCH






Women's Rights


Despite great strides made by the international women’s rights movement over many years, women and girls around the world are still married as children or trafficked into forced labor and sex slavery. They are refused access to education and political participation, and some are trapped in conflicts where rape is perpetrated as a weapon of war. Around the world, deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth are needlessly high, and women are prevented from making deeply personal choices in their private lives. Human Rights Watch is working toward the realization of women’s empowerment and gender equality—protecting the rights and improving the lives of women and girls on the ground.


Take Action


Support Access To Birth Control

Support Access To Birth Control

Birth control gives women and girls freedom – the freedom to go to school, advance their careers, and plan families when they’re ready. The Trump administration is threatening this freedom for the 62.4 million women whose birth control is covered under the Affordable Care Act. Officials want to give employers who don’t believe in contraception for religious or moral reasons the power to cut this essential benefit from their insurance. Now is your chance to speak up. Tell the Trump administration to keep their hands off our birth control! Email acting Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Eric Hargan now.
