Despite severe legal restrictions, over 600,000 illegal abortions occur annually in Iran, as women face poverty and lack of support, leading to dire health risks.
UN human rights experts condemned Iran's 'population law', calling it a direct violation of women's human rights and blocking access to essential reproductive health services.
Under the new population law, any abortion must be approved by a judge-led panel. Doctors performing illegal abortions face severe penalties, including prison.
By criminalizing sterilization procedures and eliminating free contraceptive services, Iran's population law severely limits reproductive autonomy, impacting women's health and wellbeing.
