Reproductive health is a development issue, hence efforts are required to achieve the three zero’s
“zero unmet need for family planning services and information”, “zero preventable maternal deaths
and morbidities." and “zero sexual and gender based violence including zero child, early and forced
child marriage as well as zero female genital mutilation”. Investing in adolescent and youth education,
economic opportunities, and health including family planning and sexual and reproductive health, is
critical, among other things, to harvest the demographic dividend. Building peaceful, just, and
inclusive societies in which no one is left behind is critical. All people, regardless of race, color,
religion, sex (male or female), age, disability, or language, should feel respected and have the
opportunity to shape their own future and contribute to the prosperity of their societies. |
