Bodily Autonomy

Bodily Autonomy is a normative legal-philosophical principle in feminist jurisprudence that denotes an individual’s fundamental right to self-governance over their own body, specifically the exclusive authority to make free and informed decisions about its use, integrity, and reproductive and sexual functions without coercion, violence, or discriminatory state or interpersonal interference.
