International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights

Ms Leah Hoctor:
As I said in my opening statement, the Center for Reproductive Rights is an organisation that seeks through its legal and legal advocacy work to advance women's reproductive health and rights. It is important for me to clarify that it is a legal advocacy organisation which uses the law to advance women's reproductive health and rights which include access to safe and legal abortion care, quality maternal care for women who are in labour and access to affordable contraception services. We also work to prevent child marriage and forced sterilisation.
