Sexual and Reproductive Justice: A Vehicle in Progress
›
The pace of change towards advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights is piecemeal and far too slow, said Dr. Natalia Kanem, Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), at a recent panel hosted by The Columbia University Global Health Justice & Governance Program (GHJG), in partnership with UNFPA, Columbia World Projects, and the Ford Foundation. The event launched the November 2022 report, Sexual and reproductive justice as the vehicle to deliver the Nairobi Summit commitments, published by the High-Level Commission on the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 Follow-up.
