The Her Rights Initiative HRI organisation is providing legal support to more than 100 HIV-positive women who were allegedly coerced into sterilisation.
HRIs programme lead, Dr Sethembiso-Promise Mthembu, said it filed a complaint with the United Nations in 2023, which wrote back in 2024, saying the womens human rights and dignity were violated.
HRI, which was founded in 2009, was established to protect and defend the human rights of HIV-positive women in SA.
