Women’s Human Rights

Population pressures exacerbate many of the fundamental obstacles to sustainable development: degradation of natural resources, income disparity, gender inequality and poor maternal and child health. The Fund believes that we can uphold women’s human rights by expanding their reproductive health choices, thereby reducing unwanted childbearing and improving the lives of women and their families.

The Fund seeks policy initiatives which promote globally to:

• Increase access to contraceptives
• Increase access to emergency contraceptives
• Improve adolescents’ ability to make informed choice and obtain Quality reproductive health services
• Increase access to safe abortion
• Resource mobilization in europe
• Resource mobilization in u.s.
• Eradication of female genital mutilation
• Promote microenterprise
• Ensure that millennium development goals (MDGS) prioritize reproductive health
