Adolescent SRHR since ICPD in 1994
It’s been more than 25 years since the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) took place. In 1994, 179 governments came together in this conference and called for immediate action for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) which must also include the voices of adolescents in the global agenda.
Aditi, Ali, Gogontlejang, Ruben, Kalisito, Scheherazade and Egle were born on the year when the ICPD took place. These young people partnered with international organisations, governments, academia, civil society and funding organisations to publish a new journal of adolescent health supplement on the progress made on adolescent SRHR since the ICPD and the prospects for the next 25 years.
