The International Planned Parenthood Federation – European Network (IPPF-EN) – EPHA member organisation – calls for help to advance sexual reproductive health and rights in Europe. On Tuesday, October 22nd, the European Parliament has a unique opportunity to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights not only in Europe but also in global perspective. The MEPs will vote on a report on sexual and reproductive health and rights: the ‘Estrela report’. Read and share the ‘5-reasons-why’ factsheet on Facebook, Twitter and email it to your Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in your own language today #SRHRreport hashtag.
October 22nd 2013 – IPPF-EN states that if the report is adopted, it will serve as a policy beacon for all other European Union institutions and will be a major milestone for support Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). The report calls for, among other things:
- sexuality education for all young people
- SRHR funding in EU development cooperation
- access to modern contraception and legal, safe and accessible abortion for all as well protection of minorities as part of the human rights framework.
IPPF-EN considers the report is SRHR-friendly and requests greater concerted support.
