Position paper: Enhancing the Beijing+25 & Generation Equality Forum
Inclusive, Impactful & Inspiring: Enhancing the Beijing+25 & Generation Equality Forum
The Generation Equality Forum and Beijing+25 celebrations are opportunities to address young people’s SRHR and engage youth in decision-making and agenda-setting on these issues.
This position paper, written by SRHR Expert Sanne Thijssen, provides an overview of the current status of affairs relating to comprehensive sexuality education, adolescent-friendly sexual and reproductive health services, access to safe and legal abortion, LGBTQI+ rights and meaningful youth participation. It also provides recommendations on ways to refine the Beijing+25 / GEF process and spaces to be inclusive to all, impactful in its results and inspirational for future action. Young people must not be left behind at the Generation Equality Forum!
