CPD 45th session
Theme: Adolescents and Youth
Analysis by Realizing Sexual and Reproductive Justice (RESURJ), the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC), Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN), and Amnesty International (AI)
This year’s meeting of the UN Commission on Population and Development (CDP) adopted a landmark resolution on Adolescents and Youth, its first ever on this subject matter. The resolution provides a groundbreaking framework for action on the health and human rights of adolescents and youth (10-24). In addition, it sets an important precedent and creates a favorable climate for advancing the sexual and reproductive rights agenda in the context of the 20th anniversary of ICPD in 2014 and the review of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015.
