Every year 25 million unsafe abortions take place which compromise the sexual and reproductive health of women around the world revealed an alarming report published in the journal The Lancet. The report showed that globally as many as 180 million couples get affected by infertility; nearly two million people become infected with HIV and nearly 266000 women die from cervical cancer. About one in three women worldwide experience gender-based violence most often from an intimate partner. The researchers urge for a new bold agenda to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights of women around the world.
