ABSTRACT
This chapter considers three developing countries for its discussion on feminism and reproductive rights, all have all signed the Convention of the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women. Men and women have had sexual relations and women have gotten pregnant and borne children since the beginning of time, but many women have not had the right to choose with whom and when to have sexual relations and when to get pregnant or avoid becoming pregnant. Nineteenth-century Europe and England began to redevelop methods of contraception, driven by Malthusian movements. What needs to be more fully developed in relation to contraception is its relation to women's rights. Women's fundamental rights include the control of her body, sexuality and fertility. Brazilian feminists have founded numerous centers offering self-help on sexuality, health care and rape counseling. It is essential that legal systems in the United States and worldwide be closely monitored to prevent female abuse.
