FRONTIERS PROJECT
Dissemination of Laws and Regulations Related to the Right to Choose a Contraceptive Method in a Free and Informed Way

The objective of this project was to disseminate information among key audiences about: (1) the right of women to choose contraceptive methods in a free and informed manner; and (2) the laws and institutions available to help redress any violations of this right. FRONTIERS and Afluentes, a Mexican nongovernmental organization, worked together to distribute publications on these topics to women of reproductive age, reproductive health service providers, national and state commissions of human rights, complaints offices in public hospitals, feminist and human rights organizations, and legal professionals, such as judges, lawyers and ministry officials.
