MDG contracts that makes specific mention of SRHR
24 March
The final text of a resolution adopted by
the Parliament to help regulate the Commission’s MDG contracts places a
high emphasis on health, and a specific mention of the importance of SRH
services, information and supplies. It states that the EC should
strengthen “measures to facilitate access for all women to information
about sexual and reproductive health and to universal sexual and
reproductive health services; improved access to and greater use of family
planning methods; long-term measures to promote women's education and
emancipation; and measures to combat sex discrimination and foster gender
equality.” Socialist Rapporteur MEP Hutchinson urged the Commission to
ensure the involvement of developing country parliaments and civil society
at every stage of the MDG Contracting process. The adopted text can be
