Sterilisation

According to the Commission for Gender Equality’s latest report, this practice is a direct attack on HIV-positive women

A ruling by the Namibian High Court brought by women who alleged they were sterilised by state against their will could open door for similar cases.

The case brought by Namibian mothers who were forcibly sterilised sets an important precedent.

Marginalised HIV-positive women are bearing the brunt of this unconstitutional practice.

Rights activists claim HIV-positive women are being made infertile against their will by public health doctors.
