Annotation:
This document contains a series of fact
sheets on the progress that states have
made with respect to human rights since
the 1994 International Conference on
Population and Development (ICPD)
Programme of Action. The fact sheets
examine the extent to which the goals laid
out in the Programme of Action have been
realized, with brief overviews of the
following areas: maternal mortality and
morbidity; contraceptive information and
services; abortion; sexual and
reproductive health education and
information; the situation of adolescents
and youth; the situation of individuals
belonging to marginalized and under-served
populations; HIV/AIDS; violence against
women; and harmful traditional practices
such as female genital mutilation and
child marriage. The document includes
examples of how states have progressed
since 1994 in each of these areas, and
makes recommendations for guaranteeing
these rights going forward.
