Campaign call to all women's rights, human rights, health rights & social
and economic justice activists:

With the Sixteen Days of Activism Against Gender Violence being marked
around the world, and the efforts of women human rights defenders being
commemorated internationally, the  Women’s Global Network for Reproductive
Rights <http://www.wgnrr.org/>  invites *you* to join us in our new
multi-year campaign: *“Recognise Reproductive Rights, Organise for
Reproductive Justice!”,* launched in  collaboration with the Women Human
Rights Defenders International
Coalition<http://www.defendingwomen-defendingrights.org/>.
Regionalised information about this campaign is posted online:

In the year ahead, WGNRR’s campaign work will particularly address two
specific demands related to the recognition and defense of sexual and
reproductive rights as indivisible human rights:

1.       Access to Safe, Legal, Affordable Abortion, free of stigmatisation
and criminalisation

2.       An end to forced sterilisation and coercive abortion programmes,
such as those targeted at marginalised populations.
