Status of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Zambia

چکیده
In 1994, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) affirmed that Sexual and Reproductive Health and rights (SRH&R) are human rights.

The Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) has fully committed to fulfilling the SRH&R of all people by ratifying 11 international instruments of law (seven global and four regional treaties) (see Table 1).
