UNFPAに次の案内がありました。「リプロ」というと、1994年のカイロ会議からと考えられがちだけど、実際にはそれ以前、1968年にテヘランで開催された国際人権会議（テヘラン宣言）に、子どもの数と間隔を自由に、かつ責任をもって決定すること――リプロダクティブ自己決定権――は基本的な人権だと宣言されていたのです。
World Population Day 11 July 2008
In 1968, world leaders proclaimed that individuals have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and timing of their children. Forty years later, modern contraception remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of women, men and young people.
This year’s World Population Day reaffirms the right of people to plan their families. It encourages activities, events and information that will help make this right real – especially for those who often have the hardest time getting the information and services they need to plan their families, such as marginalized populations and young people.
When people can plan their families, they can plan their lives. They can plan to beat poverty. They can plan on healthier mothers and children. They can plan to gain equality for women. Plan to support World Population Day this year!
Plan to beat poverty. Plan to gain equality. Plan to beat maternal death.
