A major contributing factor to the global health crisis – abortion – is largely a consequence of the blanket problem of gender inequality. Where on the one hand, because of the disproportionate imbalance in power, laws, practices and beliefs, sanctioned, imposed and cemented by men have left women with little or no agency. On the other hand, the misappropriated and outdated impositions further perpetuate the gender divide – as can be gauged from the recent Gender Snapshot Report 2022 by the United Nations. The report underlined a lack of health infrastructure and associated legal support as one of the several impediments to SDG 5 - Global Gender Equality.
