It demonstrates that this lack of access has serious consequences for women’s and adolescents’ lives and health and violates a full range of human rights. Furthermore, it outlines states’ obligations under international human rights law to ensure that family planning information and services are available, accessible, acceptable, and of good quality, and illustrates how human rights principles form the basis of effective, evidence-based family planning policies and services.
