d) ensuring that information on family planning/contraception is provided to communities in accessible languages and in a form that is accessible to all women and girls, including those with disabilities. Article 14.2 a): the right to adequate, affordable health services at reasonable distances, including information, education and communication programs for women, especially those living in rural areas 29. It is crucial to ensure the availability, financial and geographical accessibility as well as the quality of women's sexual and reproductive health-care services, without any discrimination relating to age, health condition, disability, marital status or place of residence. State parties have the obligation to provide services that are comprehensive, integrated and rights-based. They must develop laws that are accompanied by administrative appeal and complaint mechanisms which allow women to fully exercise their rights so that they can clearly understand the procedures and reasons that led them to being denied family planning/contraception services and how to challenge such a decision, with a view to exercise the remedies provided within the timelines. 30. This obligation imposes on them, inter alia, to develop a national public health plan with comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, protocols, guidelines and standards that are consistent with current evidence-based standards established by WHO and the committees responsible for ensuring compliance, by States, with the relevant United Nations conventions such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the Convention on Children’s Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Article 14.2 c): the right to safe abortion in cases of sexual assault, rape, incest and when the pregnancy endangers the mental and physical health of the mother or the life of the mother or the foetus. Rights covered 31. 32. The enjoyment of rights is non-discriminatory and grants gender equality when women are well informed of products, procedures and health services that are specific to them and when they actually have access to the latter, including in the area of family planning/contraception and safe abortion. The right to be free from discrimination also means that women must not be subjected to criminal proceedings and should not incur any legal sanctions for having benefited from health services that are reserved to them such as abortion and post-abortion care. Furthermore, it entails that the health personnel should not fear neither prosecution, nor disciplinary reprisal or others for providing these services, in the cases provided for in the Protocol. 10
