"An ongoing lack of access means that many women in low- and middle-income countries cannot be confident of receiving safe, respectful care when pregnant and giving birth. One million sexually transmitted infections are acquired every day. Most adolescents and young people do not receive comprehensive sexuality education, a known way to set them up for a healthy relationship. We still dismiss menstrual disorders and severe dysmenorrhoea as ‘normal’ for women, resulting in significant loss of quality of life and in productivity."
