Indian Federation of United Nations Associations.
Sandeep
Marwah also Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization stated that Family
planning has been considered as Human Rights and following points have been
decided upon- Non-discrimination: Family
planning information and services cannot be restricted on the basis of race,
sex, language, religion, political affiliation, national origin, age, economic
status, place of residence, disability status, marital status, sexual
orientation or gender identity.
Good
quality:
Family planning information must be clearly communicated and scientifically
accurate. Informed decision-making: Every person must be empowered to
make reproductive choices with full autonomy, free of pressure, coercion or
misrepresentation.
Privacy and
confidentiality: All individuals must enjoy the right to privacy when
seeking family planning information and services. Accountability: Health
systems, education systems, leaders and policymakers must be accountable to the
people they serve in all efforts to realize the human right to family planning.
A poster,
