Law and the protection of reproductive rights

Reproductive Health Law is the study of legal obligations and human rights issues in reproductive health. Legal research on the subject is often gendered and focuses primarily on the period subsequent to the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women in 1981, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, Egypt in 1994, the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, and the prospects for legal obligations to reproductive rights in national systems.

The study of reproductive health law is essentially a rightsbased research into legal obligations for reproductive rights protection as proposed in regional and international laws, provisions and policies.
