This episode takes us through an important discussion that took place on April 17, 2024, organised by the University of Southern California's Institute on Inequalities in Global Health in partnership with Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters.
Despite massive regressions in SRHR and anti-rights movements, 30 years later, the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) agenda continues to set a standard for people-centred development, acting as a global touchstone for SRHR and rights-based policies and programs. How has the current political climate impacted the fulfilment of this agenda?
