States must respect and protect key principles of non-discrimination, equality and privacy, as well as bodily integrity, autonomy, dignity and well-being of individuals, especially in relation to sexual and reproductive health rights.

Contraception also improves the socioeconomic opportunities for women and open up more educational opportunities for adolescent girls.
