SRI responds to request from President of UN General Assembly for contributions on the role of women, the young and civil society

In response to the request from the President of the General Assembly (PGA) for contributions to the High-Level Event on the role of women, the young and civil society, the SRI prepared a submission focusing on women and young peoples’ sexual and reproductive rights. The submission calls for the Post-2015 development framework to integrate a human rights-based approach. Specifically, the submission calls for greater respect, protection and fulfilment of women and young peoples’ sexual and reproductive rights through guaranteed access to a comprehensive and integrated package of sexual and reproductive health information and services, including young people’s access to comprehensive sexuality education.
