    Fifteen years ago at the 1994
    International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, 179 governments agreed an inspiring and visionary plan to give universal access to services and information to improve the sexual and reproductive health of everyone by 2015.

    15andCounting is calling on governments to meet their commitments on sexual and reproductive health.

    15andCounting will campaign to achieve better access to sexual and reproductive health services and education regardless of age, gender or where people live.

    15andCounting seeks to highlight the specific needs of young people who will be most affected by the failure or success to deliver these services.

    15andCounting aims to connect and partner with young people around the world to collectively advocate for change and share experiences.
    Why now?

    The ICPD Programme of Action aims to improve the health and wellbeing of all people regardless of when or where they were born.

    People born in 1994 at the time of the ICPD are now 15 years old and form part of the largest cohort of young people the world has ever seen – some 1.5 billion – who have a right to sexual and reproductive health services and information. Fifteen years after ICPD too many governments have failed to make good on their promises. This failure puts the lives and health of tens-of-millions of young people at risk.

    Only five years remain for the vision of ICPD to become reality, unless governments deliver on their promises young people will be denied services and information critical to their health and wellbeing.
