Today, the Netherlands, UNFPA & @Rutgers_INTL launch a new UNFPA report. Almost half of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended and 257 million women do not have access to contraceptives. That is why we invest in sexual and reproductive health and rights. #SeeingTheUnseen

"Too often, young people are left out of critical decision-making. But only when we are meaningfully involved in the policies and programmes that affect our lives, we can truly aspire to inclusive economic development." - Aydin Karadag (he/him) Full statement below 🎬 #CPD55

Dutch advocates for #SheDecides. Because all girls and women should have the right to decide over their body, life and future. Liesje Schreinemacher Lilianne Ploumen

Deze beslissing herinnert ons eraan dat het pad van de geschiedenis niet altijd omhoog voert en dat verworven rechten zo weer kunnen verdwijnen. nos.nl/l/2433919

Today is a very solemn moment for the United States. The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.

Today is a reminder that the struggle for the rights of women is never over. The Netherlands stands firmly for the health and rights of all women and girls around the world, to be able to decide about their own bodies and lives.

Today marks a setback for the rights of women and girls worldwide. The Netherlands believes safe abortion is a right and is key to prevent maternal mortality. We will continue to advance the rights of women and girls around the world.

De rechten van #meisjes staan wereldwijd onder druk. Nederland maakt zich elke dag hard om hun positie te verbeteren: door internationale projecten, het tegengaan van geweld, bevorderen van participatie en gendergelijkheid, en door Feministisch Buitenland Beleid. 1/2
