Women have a right to health, which includes physical and social access to health services as well as "enabling conditions" that are essential for women to enjoy good health. International and national policies that result in greater poverty of populations and growing inequality between rich and poor, men and women, have a direct impact on women's possibilities to stays healthy and enjoy their sexuality. Women's rights to health cannot be fulfilled if sexual and reproductive rights are not addressed.
