Ok, let& #39;s get this started! I& #39;m trying to raise awareness of issues that only affect female bodies. I& #39;ll bring links to more info on each issue. I will start from what are considered big issues that barely anyone seems to care at all. Let& #39;s do it!
China& #39;s one child policy led the country to several damaging outcomes like sex-selective abortions of female fetuses and infanticide of girls. This policy has been terminated but the country is struggling to raise the numbers of births: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/02/china-population-control-two-child-policy">https://www.theguardian.com/world/201...
In some places, when and if a female baby is born, they could still be killed (sex-selective infanticide/female infanticide): http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/medical/infanticide_1.shtml">https://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/ab...

Adult females should be able to decide if they want to have children at all or when they want children. But no contraceptive is 100% effective; and too many fertile females are sexually abused, resulting in unplanned pregnancies.
Very few countries give proper abortions rights to females. New Zealand is a developed country where the issue is still being debated: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49234944">https://www.bbc.com/news/worl...
After a sexual abuse by males, women face many challenges, like having a cervical screening: https://youtu.be/0P1FZGXND1o ">https://youtu.be/0P1FZGXND...
Brazilian indigenous women are coerced to have unnecessary c-sections, and end up struggling with health issues from this procedure, far away from the nearest health care provider. Lack of c-sections when is needed, however, kill thousands of females and babies every year
I forgot to acknowledge a type of female erasure: sex-selective IVF procedures for gay couples. https://www.bionews.org.uk/page_144104 ">https://www.bionews.org.uk/page_1441...
