“Life or death is a political decision” – Parliamentarians from over 100 countries reaffirm commitment to universal sexual and reproductive health and rights.
In the Oslo Declaration, the parliamentarians recognized the ICPD Programme of Action as “a beacon of hope,” and celebrated the progress that has been made for women and girls in the three decades since it was adopted.
#Bhutan & @UNFPA share a strong partnership of over 40 years and Her Majesty the Queen Mother has been an active UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador for 25 years.
It was great meeting Minister Sangay Dorji & MP Purb Dorji during #IPCI! I expressed gratitude to the Royal Government for its continuous investments in women & girls and discussed the challenges in achieving the last mile.
❌ En el Perú grupos conservadores de derecha e izquierda en el Parlamento y un Ejecutivo débil han permitido el avance de una agenda política de retroceso de los derechos de las mujeres y poblaciones vulnerables, mientras el mundo avanza en políticas públicas que garantizan la igualdad, el bienestar y el desarrollo.
Parlamentarios de todos los continentes 🌏, en la 8va Conferencia Internacional sobre Población y el Desarrollo en Oslo, hemos reafirmado nuestro compromiso con el empoderamiento de las mujeres, así como los derechos a la igualdad, dignidad y no discriminación en nuestros países.
Seguiré trabajando firmemente por la defensa y reconstrucción de los derechos de las mujeres y poblaciones vulnerables en el 🇵🇪💪
#Japan is a longstanding partner of @UNFPA, generously supporting our work to advance the #ICPD agenda across the #AsiaPacific region and globally. 🇯🇵 🇺🇳
During #IPCI, I met with MP Terata and appreciated Japan’s support to UNFPA as we discussed strengthening the collaboration between parliamentarians and tech companies in accelerating progress.
The last 3 days was well spent looking at population. Amidst, global challenges, we must think of our future and yes our future is ours to imagine, to create. The future is ours, we must protect and preserve it . A future of promises

The last 3days were well spent in #Oslo2024 discussing SRHR. @IPCIconference@UNFPATheGambia . Gambia is in the verge of repealing FGM laws. This action shall make the country the first to ever repeal such in World history. We must know Gambia is not an island .
A privilege to be on the drafting cttee for the "Oslo Statement of Commitment". Over 170 parliamentarians from 120 countries pledged to protect &promote #SRHR committing to the principle that "Life or Death is a Political Decision" @EPF_SRR@IPCIconference @APPGPopDevRep
Great to be at the #MPs' @IPCIconference on Implementation of the Population + Development Programme of Action.
While countries have made strides in improving access to sexual and reproductive health + rights, so too has the issue become increasingly politicized.
#ICPD30#SRHR
La reconnaissance de l’avortement comme liberté fondamentale et sa constitutionnalisation en France ont été une immense victoire collective. Elle appartient à toutes celles et ceux qui se battent pour ce droit partout dans le 🌎
C’est le message que j’ai délivré @IPCIconference
