75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights are Human Rights

9 December, 2023

 

On the occasion of the 75th Human Rights Day on 10 December 2023,

SRHM calls for the ongoing respect, protection and fulfilment of sexual and reproductive health and rights as human rights.

The 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), together with the upcoming anniversaries of ICPD+ 30 and Bejing +30, unite us towards a renewed collective action for a solid and sustained realization of sexual and reproductive rights as a matter of equality and social justice. 

SRHM stands strong and with a renewed commitment and mission to bring evidence- and rights-based knowledge to action in service to this mission. 

Please read our collection of papers celebrating the 75th Annniversary of the UDHR, translating evidence-based knowledge into rights-based realities.
