'References to repealing discriminatory laws that threaten women’s “sexual and reproductive health and rights” and “bodily autonomy” have been removed from a statement published on the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) website.'
Reference to 'sexual and reproductive health & rights' & 'bodily autonomy' was deleted from a statement organised by the UK Govt. The statement was to show international solidarity, including on abortion rights at #FoRBMinisterial 5-6 July. humanists.uk/2022/07/19/abo…

The statement was issued by the UK as part of an #ForbMinisterial #forbforall. A total of 23 countries signed the joint statement before it was amended. Malta, which has the strictest stance on abortion in Europe, has signed the statement after abortion rights were removed.
This is deeply concerning & we are asking the UK Government for an explanation, and a reversal of the decision to omit abortion rights for the statement. In Malta there is an absolute ban on abortion in all circumstances, including rape, incest, and fatal foetal abnormalities.
