Applying Human Rights to Sexual and Reproductive Health - a Reality for All?

Sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental human right. At this year’s MMS/aidsfocus.ch conference we addressed the issues of human rights to sexual and reproductive health. There is a renewed push for sexual and reproductive health and rights due to the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 193 UN-member states. Safeguarding sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and men contributes significantly to achieving the global goals for sustainable development. The new issue of the MMS bulletin unites presentations of this year’s MMS/aidsfocus.ch conference and reflects on the human rights based approach to sexual and reproductive health programming.
