Description

The landmark United Nations International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) took place in Cairo almost 20 years ago. At that time. 180 nations made a commitment to work together and to pay for services to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and men, particularly those living in the world's poorest countries. Progress since then has been uneven, and there remains a great deal of room for improvement on SRHR indicators, particularly among the world's poorest women. Currently, one in five women of reproductive age in the developing world--215 million women-have an unmet need for modern contraception. (1) That is, they are sexually active, able to become pregnant and do not want to give birth in the next two years, but are not using a modern family planning method, and are therefore at risk for unintended pregnancy. Poor women and young women are particularly at risk. Among sexually active women aged 15-19 in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. 68% have an unmet need for modern methods. (2) One result of high levels of unmet need is not hard to imagine: Every year, nearly 20 million women have an unsafe abortion.* Eight million of these women experience complications that require significant medical treatment.3 Only five million receive the care they need. 70,000 women die, and the deaths and ill health caused by unsafe abortion leave women's families to face great economic and social hardships. Progress made toward strengthening other components of SRHR, for example, by reducing gender-based violence and protecting sexual minorities, also lags far behind the goals set at ICPD.
