CEDAW/C/36/D/4/2004
The\&nbsp;A.S. v. Hungary (C/36/D/4/2004)\&nbsp;complaint was filed under the Optional Protocol to CEDAW on behalf of a Hungarian woman of Roma origin who was coercively sterilized in a public hospital. The complaint was filed jointly by the Budapest-based Legal Defense Bureau for National and Ethnic Minorities (NEKI) and the European Roma Rights Center (ERRC), and charges the Hungarian government with violating A.S.{\textquoteright}s rights to appropriate health care,\&nbsp;family planning\&nbsp;information, and free and informed decision-making over the number and spacing of her children as guaranteed under CEDAW. In November 2005, the Center submitted supplementary information to the CEDAW Committee in support of\&nbsp;A.S. v. Hungary. The Center{\textquoteright}s submission provided information from UN treaty monitoring bodies and international health and medical organizations underscoring women{\textquoteright}s rights to receive accurate information on sterilization and other\&nbsp;family planning services, and to informed consent to health care. In September 2006, CEDAW ruled in favor of A.S.},
