Reproductive Health and Human Rights
More tha a decade after the enthuasiasm that launched the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), there is growing concern about the status of ICPD. Does it have the same purchase today as it did in the immediate post-Cairo period? While many gains have been achieved because of ICPD (Countdown 2015 2017; UNFPA 2004a, b; Haberland and Measham 2002; UNFPA 1999), the health and development issues that brought the nations of the world to consensus persist. Approximately half a million women die in childbirth annually; the AIDS epidemic is increasing in both scale and scope; declining fertility rates in much of the world have not translated into improved standards of living. Over one billion people live in extreme poverty and have inadequate access to health care.
