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.Play your part, for now and the futureSign the Count Me In petition that will be presented to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and help persuade governments to promote, protect and fulfil their promise to provide better access to sexual and reproductive health services for all young peopleWhat was the International Conference on population and Development?What is sexual and reproductive health/ What are reproductive health rights?Benefits of sexual and reproductive health rights/ why do we need sexual and reproductive health rights?Who we are15andCounting is a campaign developed by the International Planned Parenthood Federation, a federation of non-governmental organizations working in 176 countries worldwide and a global leader in providing and advocating for the right to improved sexual and reproductive health.
