Eszter Kismödi, chief executive of the journal Reproductive Health Matters, invites you to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through a collection of articles that illustrate challenges faced in trying to ensure sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights for all, as well as ways human rights have helped improve many aspects of sexual and reproductive health around the world.
All four papers, including an editorial co-authored by Kismödi and Laura Ferguson, director of the Program on Global Health & Human Rights at the USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health, note that attention to human rights within SRH is critical for progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and also for the health, wellbeing and dignity of everyone everywhere.
