Almost half of women in 57 countries around the world are denied the freedom to decide on what to do with their own bodies, the United Nations said in a report on Wednesday. This includes issues around sex, contraception and health care.
The My Body is My Own study lists attacks on women, including rape, forced sterilization, virginity tests and genital mutilation.
The head of the UN’s sexual and reproductive health agency (UNFPA), Natalia Kanem, said: “In essence, hundreds of millions of women and girls do not own their own bodies. Their lives are governed by others.”
Those other decision-makers may include partners, family members, society and government. […]
Crimes and practices that violate a woman’s bodily autonomy include “honor” killings, forced and early marriage, “virginity” tests and female genital mutilation. Forced pregnancy or abortion also violate a woman’s power to make decisions concerning her body. […]
Despite constitutional guarantees of gender equality in many countries, the report says that on average, women globally enjoy only 75% of the legal rights of men. …

No Vaccine for me, thanks.
Ahem, does “body autonomy” include the right to decline the injection of unwanted biological agents and retain your freedom to live, move and do things?
Oh, you’re assuming it is your body, your choice I see. LOL! Yeah, we neither. I’m turning it down so some underserved ‘bipoc’ can take mine.
Now that you mentioned it, no it does not include refusal of unwanted biologics and gene therapies designed “for the greater good.”
...and leftists want to extend that to include the rest of us.
57 countries? Hmmm.
where I have heard that number of countries referenced before??
Hopefully, with Elon Musk’s brain chips and Social Credit system and TIA, we can get that number down to zero. Zero people on the planet will have body autonomy. That’s the globalist’s gaol. Sorry I mean goal.
So this conjecture is OK. But liberals insist that Christians stopping human sacrifices by the Mayans and Aztecs hundreds of years ago was unforgivable imperialism.
Wait! I think I see why this makes sense. The above conjecture is posited so that these women who do not have autonomy will freely be able to choose abortion!
So, the Christians, all those many years ago were horrible to stop human sacrifice. And the societies being criticized today need to allow more human sacrifice.
The ultimate objective of liberals is to facilitate human sacrifice. Thus, bring back Baal worship.
Folks, after several thousand years, we are still fighting the same heresies.
Not our monkeys.
Not our circus.
They also don't mention guns as a means of protecting, "body autonomy" I suppose. I didn't read the articleTm
Hollywood could start making a bunch of movies and TV shows like The Handmaiden's Tale, but actually use misogynist Muslims as the bad guys, instead of the meeker Christian ones.
Hah hah, just kidding!
Islam is right about women
Are they counting muzzy countries?
Also News of the day: women are systematically abused everywhere not run predominantly by white people.
And same here with the honor killings and FGM.
How about the right to live your life in peace without being accused of being racist?
We’re still supposed to respect their cultures though, right?
