Idania Cedeño: Growing gender justice in the fields of Cuba

I recently travelled to Bogotá, Colombia, to attend the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP), a global gathering that brought together more than 5,000 people from over 100 countries. Participants included activists, health care providers, researchers, policy makers, civil society organizations and governments. Together, we reflected on progress, shared evidence and best practices, and recommitted to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) around the world. The conversations in Bogotá made one thing clear: while progress on SRHR is possible, it is fragile and increasingly under threat.
