\nDuring her country mission to the United States of America, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women was informed of challenges related to the inadequate access to health services in prison and detention facilities, characterized by delays, neglect, and mistreatment of inmates and detainees.

At the core of these health concerns is an inadequate system which is insufficiently responsive to gender-specific needs, including the reproductive health.
