Description: In 2002, abortion has been legalized under certain circumstances in Nepal. However, Nepalese women are still deprived of the legal and safe abortion services. By developing a framework on reasonable access to abortion services, this study basically explores on what is expected out of any state machineries to guarantee women's right to abortion. It will further examine the Nepalese government's obligation under national laws and international human rights instruments to ensure reasonable access to abortion services, and argues that by being unable to do so Nepal violates women's human rights. Finally, the study put forward recommendations to the Nepalese government for ensuring reasonable access to abortion services to Nepalese women.
