Women’s rights are human rights. These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage.

Every woman and girl must have autonomous sexual and reproductive rights and be able to make decisions about their own body. This means we are entitled to equal access to health services like annual check-up, mammograms, contraception, and safe abortions, to choose if we want to have children and if so, how many, when and with who. Women should be able to live without fear of gender-based violence, including rape and other sexual violence. I will always be a vote for a women’s right to choose what to do with her body.
