Advocacy work to integrate SRHR in the post-2015 agenda
The
High-Level Task Force for ICPD is an independent body created in 2012,
and Gestos is one of its members. We have recently launched in New York
our police recommendations for the processes that will culminate with an
UNGASS in 2014 and with the definition of the post 2015 new strategic
development goals. There are many areas where we integrated HIV in the
Policy Recommendations.
Please include this position paper in
your advocacy work with your own governments. It contains relevant
language for the integration of HIV and sexual and reproductive health
and rights.
“While we are encouraged by the
achievements of ICPD implementation, the challenge is that too many
people around the world are still denied their sexual and reproductive
health and rights. These fundamental freedoms and human rights lie at
the very core of human dignity.”
H.E. Tarja Halonen, former president of Finland, co-chair of High-Level Task Force for ICPD
