End Forced Sterilization

They Took My Choice Away

Marginalized women are often sterilized without their consent worldwide. Medical staff deem these women unworthy of being mothers because of their health condition, ethnicity, or income.

Forced and coerced sterilizations are a grave violation of human rights and medical ethics. Perpetrators are seldom held accountable and victims rarely obtain justice for this violent abuse of their rights.
