Female's access to reproductive health intervention has experienced dramatic change with the development of women's rights across the world. However, the influence of the development of global women's rights on reproductive health intervention access differs by place of residence and by the socio-economic characteristics of educational attainment and income levels. As a response to it, this study investigates the influence of the development of global women's rights on contraceptive intervention access of females from different places of residence (rural/urban areas), with different educational attainment and income levels. Using multi-source data from World Health Organization (WHO), Inter-Parliament Union (IPU), International Labor Organization (ILO), and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), empirical results show that the development of women's rights generally improves female's contraceptive intervention access around the world, and especially benefits females in rural areas, with a lower educational level, and in the medium or low-income stratum. The development of global women's rights thus contributes to the social equity of healthcare access for females.
随着全球妇女权利的发展，女性获得生殖健康干预的机会发生了巨大变化。然而，全球妇女权利的发展对生殖健康干预机会的影响因居住地和教育程度以及收入水平等社会经济特征而异。有鉴于此，本研究调查了全球妇女权利的发展对不同居住地（农村/城市地区）、不同教育程度和收入水平的女性获得避孕干预措施的影响。本研究使用了来自世界卫生组织（世卫组织）、各国议会联盟（议会联盟）、国际劳工组织（劳工组织）和联合国教育、科学及文化组织（教科文组织）的多源数据，实证结果表明，妇女权利的发展普遍提高了世界各地女性获得避孕干预措施的机会，特别是使农村地区、教育程度较低和中等或低收入阶层的女性受益。因此，全球妇女权利的发展有助于实现女性获得医疗保健服务的社会公平。
