- En el año que acaba de concluir, continuamos destacando el profundo impacto que tienen sobre los derechos sexuales las crisis globales interrelacionadas causadas por el capitalismo mediante el neoliberalismo rampante, el extractivismo sin control y la degradación del clima, el populismo y el nacionalismo violentos, la desigualdad cada vez mayor al interior de los estados y entre ellos, y los sistemas de opresión patriarcal, racista, de clase y capacitista profundamente arraigados. A continuación podrán leer lo más destacado de 2023 en el trabajo de la SRI.
Rétrospective de 2023
Cette année, nos travaux ont continué à signaler comment et à quel point les droits sexuels sont affectés par des crises mondiales interdépendantes, provoquées par le capitalisme, par le biais du néolibéralisme croissant, de l’extractivisme incontrôlé et de la dégradation du climat, du populisme et du nationalisme violents, de l’inégalité galopante au sein des États et entre eux, et des systèmes d’oppression patriarcaux, racistes, classistes et capacitistes bien ancrés. Ci-dessous, les moments forts de notre année 2023.Opportunities for feminist engagement in the UN human rights system
You'll find in this post the most recent opportunities for feminist engagement in the UN human rights system from February to April 2024.UPR 44 Highlights: Sexual Rights-Related Recommendations

UPR 44 Azerbaijan Submission - Social Charitable Center Women and Modern World (CWMW) and the SRI
This submission reflects on the progress that Azerbaijan has made since its last review to meet its obligations to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. Azerbaijan received and supported recommendations during the last cycle of the UPR on gender equality, violence and discrimination against women, as well as women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues. These include bodily autonomy, reproductive health and family planning, sexual orientation and gender identity, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, and child marriage. These sets of rights are cornerstones of democratic societies.
UPR 44 Canada Submission - Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic, Justice for Migrant Workers (J4MW), YWCA Hamilton, The Community Research Platform at McMaster University, and the SRI
This report examines gaps in Canada’s obligation to respect, protect, and fulfil the right to abortion. Abortion is a decriminalized healthcare procedure and is enshrined in numerous human rights instruments and ratified conventions. Despite this, many people in Canada face barriers when seeking abortion services and some are ultimately unable to access care.

Despite 30 years of the Vienna Declaration, universal access to sexual and reproductive health services for all women, girls, and pregnant people is still very far from reality. Sexual and reproductive health and rights are treated as a siloed issue - with limited relevance for the majority of people.HRC 54 SRI & partners statement to the adoption of Botswana's UPR 43 outcome
We regret that Botswana received and noted several recommendations on decriminalising abortion, on repealing Section 167 of the Penal Code, and on ensuring access to legal gender recognition. Botswana must eliminate discrimination against women and ensure their access to legal, safe, and affordable sexual and reproductive health services, including abortion, which Botswana still criminalises, and gender-affirming care.
