UNRISD and the Sexual Rights Initiative are hosting Universal Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health: Realizing Health and Human Rights, an official side event at the 34th Session of the Human Rights Council.
How can people’s sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHRs) around the world be better protected and promoted?
Panellists at this event will present perspectives on:
- Challenges and good practices in ensuring full access to SRHRs
- Environmental dimensions of family planning
- The linkages between a human rights-based social protection framework and access to these rights
- Current global trends, and what these mean for implementation of the SDGs (and their achievement by 2030).
