Women’s rights, sexual and reproductive health and….revolution?

Since 1994, the Zapatista's have placed women's rights and participation at the centre of their social and health agenda, including the promotion of sexual and reproductive rights.

This transformation is promoting women's sexual and reproductive health and rights.
