Preserving the Reproductive Rights of Girls and Women in the Era of COVID-19: The Need for a Least Restrictive Solution

Abstract

Fairchild and colleagues assert that while “equal” on the surface, the rapidly implemented, society-wide public health restrictions enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic veil harsh inequities (Fairchild et al. 2020). These inequities are particularly apparent in the deep erosion of sexual and reproductive health rights for women and girls.
