Both the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and the subsequent outcomes of their review conferences, have reaffirmed the centrality of sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights to sustainable development. Sexual and reproductive health and rights include rights to access essential information, education and services for all on issues such as sexuality, relationships, pregnancies and safe childbirth. This includes recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly on the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so. The human rights of women include their right to have control over and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality, including sexual and reproductive health, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
