Iran Limits Condom Usage

On November 16, 2021, Iranian president Ibrahim Raisi, signed into law the "Rejuvenation of the Population and Support of the Family" bill, which sparked a backlash from human rights watchdogs, NGOs for women's rights, and HIV/AIDS prevention advocacy groups. The bill, which is due to be enacted within a few weeks, will prohibit sterilization and the distribution of free contraceptives in Iran's public health care system. The only outlined exception is when a pregnancy will threaten a woman's life. According to Tara Sepehri Far, senior Iran researcher for the Human Rights Watch, Iran's legislators are ignoring the severe problems of incompetence, corruption, and repression that obliterated the nation's economy and therefore motivates couples to have fewer, or entirely forgo having children. Instead, they approved a law that "blatantly undermines the rights, dignity, and health of half of the country's population." Far added that the Iranian government is "denying them access to essential reproductive health care and information.” The law will likely make more individuals "highly vulnerable to HIV" and lead to an increase in cases of HIV infection.
