Women face significant obstacles in accessing reproductive health services, including limited healthcare availability, financial constraints, and insufficient education on reproductive issues. Cultural stigma, legal restrictions, mental health challenges, and language barriers further deter them from seeking care. Additionally, a lack of support networks and prevalent misinformation hinder women's ability to make informed choices and negatively impact their autonomy and well-being.
