MMS Symposium: „Not without us! “ - Youth and sexual and reproductive health in international cooperation

Basel, 5 November 2014

It has now been twenty years since the International Conference on Population and Development (ICDP) in Cairo set new principles and criteria on sexual and reproductive health and rights. On this occasion this year's symposium will discus the issue of sexual and reproductive health and rigths in the international cooperation. At the centre of our discussions we have set young people, who are the key group we need to be working with in order to improve health for women and girls, mothers and children. Which obstacles do we need to overcome in order to grant youth’s access to health services? How should health services for sexual and reproductive health be modelled in order to be more youth-friendly? What kind of social environment is required for youths themselves to be able to stand up for their right to health?
