SALUD SEXUAL Y REPRODUCTIVA

 Dear PHM Comrades
Greetings from ARROW!

Sai and I just wanted to thank you for participating in ARROW's Workshop
"Strategizing for Universal Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health". We
were able to put together all your suggestions/recommendations and share
them at the Right to Health Workshop (see attached document) on July 10th
facilitated by Abhay Shukla.

As a result of taking your ideas and ours to the right to health workshop:

1) It was agreed that SRHR is an important aspect of the right to health
and thus a thematic campaign on  Sexual and Reproductive Rights as part of
the Right to Health Campaign needs to be put together – ARROW will now
draft a concept note to submit to PHM on this
2) In addition there is no  PHM Circle on SRHR or Women’s/ young peoples
health and there is a need for this to ensure that PHM continues to have
this lens in its analysis and strategies. A number of activists pledged
their support to this idea and ARROW will now draft a  concept note for a
proposed global circle on Women and Yong People's Health


An additional Outcome

We were also able to bring in the SRHR language into the call to action
with the support of other SRHR and women's health advocates present as part
of PHM at PHA3 (see highlighted sections in attached document)
****

Do let us know if you would be interested in being part of the

a) global circle on Women and Young People's Health
b) thematic campaign on  Sexual and Reproductive Rights as part of the
Right to Health Campaign

In addition as a resource we just received the *Human Rights Council
Technical Guidelines on implementation of policies and programmes to reduce
preventable maternal morbidity and mortality*. These country level
guidelines are an excellent contribution in case you have not seen them yet.
Warm regards

YOU CAN ASK FOR THE ATTACHMENTS FROM US DIRECTLY SINCE PHM-EXCH DOES NOT
POST ATTACHMENTS.
