Sexual and reproductive health and rights: The next 20 years. Keynote address, ICPD beyond 2014: International Conference on Human Rights 7-10 July 2013, Netherlands.

摘要

Thank you for your warm welcome. And let me say a special 'thank you' to our hosts, the Government of the Netherlands, whose strong leadership and warm participation has been such a strong and lasting feature of the last 20 years. I think that when you applaud me, you are really applauding yourselves. I have already met so many of you who were at Cairo, and I can see so many more here in/the audience. And I have been very proud to meet many of you who were not at the International Conference on Population & Development (1CPD, 1994), who are working hard to turn its great promises into reality. You all deserve the credit for what happened at Cairo, and what has happened in the years between. And you will earn great credit for your work in the future. For that is the true achievement of Cairo - not only what the conference completed, but what it began. It opened doors and showed us the paths that we are still following today.
