The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) ICPD regional review is underway
The Articulación Regional de Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil de América Latina y el Caribe Hacia Cairo +20 convened a civil society forum on August 11th, in advance of the First Regional Conference on Population and Development for Latin America and the Caribbean. Approximately 250 members from a wide range of regional, sub-regional and national networks and organizations-- including representatives from IPPF Member Associations- participated in the day-long forum. During the forum, participants discussed the Cairo +20 and Post-2015 processes, and drafted “The Time is Now”, a declaration that was delivered to delegates during the Conference. The declaration highlights the need to ensure that sexual and reproductive rights and health are met through various actions, including the decriminalization of abortion and the promotion of comprehensive sexuality education, among others.
