Introduction
How do you implement a Rights Based Approach (RBA) in the reality you are working in?
This was the central question that World Population Foundation and Youth Incentives put forward at a two-day International Conference “Rights and Realities in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights”.
At this conference challenges related to the implementation of a RBA in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights were further explored and discussed. On the basis of best practices, strategies were be identified how to overcome these challenges.
The conference was meant for policymakers, programme officers, field staff, NGO-representatives and youth organisations who deal with sexuality issues in their professional work.
