GDC Successfully Appeals to UN Human Rights Council
GDC signed a joint statement to request the UN Human Rights Council during its 41st session (June 24 – July 12, 2019) to respect, protect, and fulfill adolescent and youth sexual reproductive and health and rights.
The statement was signed by over 300 CSOs and drafted by the Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW), AWID, Centre for Reproductive Rights, CHOICE for Youth and Sexuality, HIVOS, International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), Plan International, Rutgers, Sexual Rights Initiative, Swedish Association for Sexuality and Education, and Youth Coalition.
We are happy to report that the Council adopted a positive resolution.
