Do you see a role for your institution, either currently or in the future, in promoting and protecting the following examples of reproductive
rights? Feel free to add comments in the spaces below each example.
A detailed and clearly articulated understanding of the content of reproductive rights is vital to their effective promotion. With this in mind, the
following section nominates issues (in no particular order) that have been put forward as examples of reproductive rights. This is not intended to
be an authoritative list. Some examples are disputed by members of the international community, and the authors of this questionnaire do not
necessarily endorse their status as reproductive rights.
There is widespread consensus that reproductive rights rest upon and encompass already existing rights such as the right to health, the right to
freedom from discrimination, and the right to bodily integrity. However, while broad descriptions of what reproductive rights are meant to
achieve are common, the specific content and thematic components of reproductive rights remain to be authoritatively defined.
