Stakeholder Summary >> Sudan, Review Documentation, 40th Session, January 2022

The Sexual Rights Initiative noted that women, especially in conflict zones and young girls, have no access to contraception, adequate antennal care or emergency obstetric care. They are unable to make decisions about their bodies and to decide the number and spacing of their children. These conditions have worsened under the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommended to ensure universal access to state-subsidized sexual and reproductive health information and services, especially focusing on the needs of women, youth and people with disabilities.
