UNFPA new report: Links Contraceptives to Human Rights
23 MARCH 2011 – A new publication linking the right to contraceptives to the human rights framework has been launched by UNFPA and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
The new report provides practical guidance for activists, scholars, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, governments and other actors who work in the area of sexual and reproductive health so they can integrate a human rights perspective into programmes and policies on contraceptive information and services.
The report assesses the benefits of access to contraceptives, lays out human rights standards and principles and provides an overview of how to apply a human rights-based approach to the provision of contraceptive information and services.
