Ramaswami: ATTACK ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS ***************************************************************************************************** The Trump administration has worked to systematically undermine sexual and reproductive rights both in the US and around the world. It has dismantled funding to various organisations that work on the issue of sexual and reproductive care, including access to abortions, through an expansion of the ‘global gag rule’. This rule bars any organisation that provides, or makes referrals, for abortions in its family planning from receiving federal funding. As a result of this, in the US, access to these health services are shrinking and especially poor women, women of colour and transgender people are deprived of the basic human right of healthcare. Trump also harbours patriarchal and misogynist views on women, which deny them their right to choice and take decisions on their future.
