Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 d (new)
21d. Recognises that Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights are a key driver with transformative potential for multi-dimensional poverty eradication, should be always recognized as a pre- condition for both healthy lives and gender equality. In this context, attention to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) must be stepped up. SRHR are unfortunately still treated as a niche issue, while they are of utmost importance for gender equality, youth empowerment and human development and ultimately poverty eradication. This represents little progress from previous EU approaches and the recognition of SRHR as key drivers for sustainable development is still missing. The EU position has been incoherent in this front, as shown in this package: the EC recognizes EU action in this domain only under 'health' in the Communication on Agenda 2030, but only under 'gender equality' in the Communication on the Consensus. Calls therefore, on the Commission and member states to continue to request that the United States rethink its stance on the so called 'global gag rule';
