📢To say that this is an outrage 😤 is an understatement. The UK Govt @trussliz@tariqahmadbt@UK_FoRBEnvoy have taken out commitments to abortion & sexual health rights from an int'l statement on gender equality after more than 20 countries had signed on, giving no explanation🧵
Why did the UK Government remove the words “sexual and reproductive health and right” and “bodily autonomy” from an international statement on human rights?
Really,- why? https://t.co/6XN8FlTGfD
BREAKING: Denmark, Norway, and 20+ human rights orgs condemn the UK Govt on its decision to quietly remove ‘sexual & reproductive health & rights’ & 'bodily autonomy' from an international human rights statement. 👇

Well this is chilling. The UK government has quietly just removed "sexual and reproductive health and rights" & "bodily autonomy" from a multinational statement committing to the fundamental rights of women & girls. Why exactly? Abortion is a human right.
