The brochure “Women’s Rights and Tobacco Control: The Right to a Tobacco-Free World” provides an overview of the links between sustainable development, women’s rights and tobacco control. In five chapters, the authors examine several aspects in detail: Health impact of smoking and secondhand smoke on women and girls; Effects of social inequality on tobacco use; Marketing of tobacco and nicotine products through influencers in social media; Working conditions and exploitation of women in tobacco cultivation in Bangladesh as well as in Zambia.The final chapter provides recommendations for governments on how to improve tobacco control and thus contribute to the enforcement of women’s rights and the achievement of SDGs. Women have their say on the centre page of the brochure, giving space to the voices of women in Germany, Bangladesh and Zambia.
