Simone de Beauvoir’s quote from 1949 remains relevant today to fight for women’s rights, particularly sexual and reproductive rights. Statistics show that six out of ten unintended pregnancies result in induced abortions, with around 45 percent of these procedures being unsafe. In Latin America, 97% of women live in legally restricted states, and in sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 6.2 million unsafe abortions occur annually, resulting in 15,000 deaths. Abortion remains a leading cause of death in the 21st century, with many U.S. states banning medical termination or restricting access.
