 Government at all levels in Nigeria have been charged to address the challenges facing women in the country and ensure that their sexual reproductive health rights are guaranteed. This demand is against the backdrop of the untold hardship and difficulties experienced by a majority of women in the country due to their inability to access health services and other inhibitions. Nigeria is a signatory to many international rights-based mechanisms, particularly on sexual policies in relation to law, population, human rights, as well as sexual and reproductive health of women. Nigerian women are currently facing a lot of challenges when it comes to their sexual reproductive health and rights and some of them include harmful traditional practices that are still going on in Nigeria and thankfully the VAP Act criminalizes female genital mutilation. However, we know that it is still widely practiced in the country. We have other challenges also like lack of access to information and services that will enable women to space their children and to give birth to the number of children that they want to and within the timeframe that they want to as well. And if they don't want to have any children, they should also have access to services that will enable that. Just that you're a woman, you have to go through extra miles, extra audios just to be able to exist. So it's a lot of problems. It affects our psychology, our mental health, our physical and spiritual health. And then we now wonder why a lot of people are frustrated and a lot of people are carrying, you know, it's a lot of depression going on and these are faced by women and girls who do not have all this easy access to their sexual health and reproductive rights. So I can imagine how it feels. It's a very bad state of mind. When you 50% to over 50% of your population are denied their human rights in this instance women because they are the ones who are most impacted by the lack of delivery of reproductive rights, then you are taking away 50% of your population's ability to contribute to nation building, to contribute to our economic mainstream and economic advancement. And that is why it is critical that these rights which are human rights should be enjoyed by all in dignity, in confidence, to express themselves, to be happy and all of that, these are really, really critical. To take steps, active steps to respect, to protect and to fulfill the reproductive health rights of women because issues of reproductive health rights are human rights issues. They are not just issues that we can decide to either give or not give, they are human rights issues and when these services are not available, they do not translate to a violation of the rights to the life of a woman, it translates to the rights to dignity of a woman. So it also translates to several other violations of a right, violations to rights to expression, rights to good health and several other rights can be also attributed to lack of these services when they are not available.
