Lack of access to sexual and reproductive healthcare is a major global health issue. Protecting these rights also benefits societies and economies through factors like stabilizing population growth and reducing poverty. Maintaining reproductive health involves healthy habits like exercise, diet, limiting risky substances, and hygiene.
