To the members of the International Federation of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology:
In a global context where sexual and reproductive rights and diversity are being challenged, we reaffirm our commitment to the health, autonomy, and dignity of girls, adolescents, and young people.
Access to evidence-based information, quality healthcare, and the right to make decisions about one’s own body are fundamental to the well-being and development of future generations. Any rollback of these rights puts their future at risk, and it is our responsibility to continue defending them.
We call on governments, institutions, and professionals to strengthen inclusive policies and ensure that the health and rights of all individuals are respected.
There is no justice without equity. There is no health without rights. Let’s keep moving forward.
