Contrary to the message of the “Geneva Consensus Declaration”, we believe that multilateral spaces should continue to affirm the highest standards when it comes to the promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights, which includes access to safe and legal abortion. Meanwhile, states have the obligation to respect, protect, and fulfill these rights as inalienable and indivisible from our human rights.
This Pride month, WGNRR joins all progressive groups in defending LGBTQIA+ rights and sustaining the call for #SRHR4All. We join many groups in recognizing Pride’s roots as a solidarity movement protesting against sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, fascist and repressive forces, asserting equal rights for all, and celebrating diversity in the fullest sense of the word.
Pride is a protest and we need to protest now more than ever.
We fully commit to the mutual struggles of the Reproductive Justice and LGBTQIA+ movements as they continue to work together, not only in recognition of common enemies, but on the basis of intersectionality and a common understanding of human rights as universal and inalienable, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated.
