According to The Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era(DAWN) women should have control over their reproductive health, because it affects women's health. Women's bodies have become an object due to the struggles of the patriarchy.

Lack of Awareness

The main reason some people or countries do not recognize reproductive rights is because they do not know the law. Both citizens and medical providers are unaware of these rights and proper understanding of abortions. Most people also do not understand the nature of sexual violence.
