Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, sexual and reproductive health is an integral part of human health. Women's rights in terms of reproduction is quite a broad topic and significantly depends on the cultural and ethnic characteristics of the society. Protection of women's reproductive rights is significantly influenced by the efficiency of the health care system, the professionalism of medical personnel, the level of development of the state, the religious and moral values and values of society, and others. It should also be noted that the quality of protection of women's reproductive rights is an important prerequisite for the functioning of the health care system. In states with a well-functioning health care system, gross violations such as unprofessionalism of medical personnel, unsolved sanitary-hygienic issues, restriction of freedom of choice are minimized. It is important that the level of sexual education in the society is satisfactory so that women know about their rights, which will be a step forward towards the protection of reproductive rights.
