The 59th session of the Commission on Population and Development, #CPD59, has closed without consensus — once again.
A key sticking point remains disagreement over language on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Still, important conversations took place.

Navy blue and violet text on a light grey background with line details reads, "Let us be clear: the politicization of health interventions is detrimental to population wellbeing; it threatens rights and puts lives at risk." Below, highlighted in yellow, navy blue text reads "Guttmacher statement at the 59th Session of the UN CPD; Floriane Borel, Senior Global Policy Associate."
To achieve the vision of the #ICPD, sexual & reproductive health policies must be firmly rooted in science. That means bolstering evidence-based tools & policies that respect human rights in an era marked by rapid digital transformation. Read our official #CPD59 statement: https://gu.tt/4emEpyu
