UNFPA Welcomes Decisions as Triumph for World’s Women, Families

UNFPA press release, 14 Apr 2005

14 April 2005 UNITED NATIONS, New York—Members of the United Nations have emphasized the need to integrate the goal of universal access to reproductive health by 2015 in strategies to attain the world’s development goals. Such access, they resolved, should be part of efforts to eradicate poverty, improve maternal health, reduce infant and child deaths, promote gender equality and combat HIV/AIDS. United Nations Members included these decisions in resolutions they adopted today as they concluded the 2005 session of the Commission on Population and Development. Two main resolutions covered population, HIV/AIDS and poverty, as well as the contribution of the Programme of Action of the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) to the world’s development goals, including those in the Millennium Declaration.
