The CPD follows up the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action (Cairo PoA). The 2021 Theme was Population, food security, nutrition and sustainable development. After years of non-agreement, having an agreed outcome was a must. Following constructive discussions in the informals and excellent facilitation by the Bureau, agreed conclusions were adopted.
Attention for SRHR
Adolescent girls are specifically mentioned in paragraphs on their distinct nutritional needs, on the need to promote a healthy lifestyle and on the disproportionate impacts malnutrition has on their lives.
In terms of COVID-19, disproportionate impacts on women and girls, including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), including domestic violence and violence in digital contexts are recognized. Agreed language on SRH and SRH and RR was reconfirmed but language on Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) was not withheld.
Belgium’s statement
Belgium confirmed its strong commitment to the realization of the ICPD PoA and the Beijing Platform of Action and reconfirmd the prioritization of SRHR in its bilateral and multilateral international cooperation.
