Global bodies call for the end of forced sterilization
09.09.11 - The World Medical Association (WMA) and IFHHRO, today condemned the practice of forced and coerced sterilisation as forms of violence that severely harm physical and mental health and infringe human rights.
They said that sterilisation is a form of birth control that should be available, accessible and affordable for every individual, within the full range of all alternative contraceptive methods. Barriers to sterilisation, once an informed choice has been made, should be minimised. Sterilisation should be available to any person who has reached the age of majority.
