A good step

A bill to facilitate reproductive healthcare and health rights has been approved by the national assembly. This is a welcome step to promote and protect these rights in accordance with the constitution and international commitments made by the government of Pakistan.
With the effective implementation of the approved bill, everyone would have access to information related to reproductive rights and responsibilities within a gender perspective free from stereotyped and discriminatory practices. These interventions would surely be beneficial especially for younger generation as access to this information will guard them against abuse, exploitation and will improve their knowledge and access to modern contraceptives to reduce chances of getting infected with various diseases including HIV.
Now, responsible stakeholders including government departments and media should play their role in translating these words into reality to ensure required execution of related laws and legislations for the protection and promotion of basic youth rights in the country.
