This mon�ٳ���we celebrated International Women’s Day on March 8 and the kick-off of the 59�ٳ�����������(CSW). Both of these events happen every year.��But this year is special.

2015��marks the��20th��anniversary of the��, the landmark framework on women’s health and rights. This is where our rallying cry, “women’s rights are human rights,” originated (though the concept has been around a lot longer than 20 years!). It’s also the basis of our����campaign, which seeks to accelerate progress��on comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights, issues that still have a long way to go.

Because this year’s CSW focuses on such a monumental anniversary, and requires the world’s governments to honestly assess how far we’ve come in protecting and promoting��women’s rights everywhere, a new Declaration will be issued by the CSW this year, one that will represent the highest levels of political will and that will��inform��the next phase of global health and human rights efforts for women and girls.
