Today, I participated in the first meeting of the independent ICPD High-Level Commission, which was established by UNFPA. It was a pleasure to meet 'virtually' my fellow members - some I already am acquainted with and others I look forward to getting to know. UNFPA has done a great job in bringing together a very diverse group of people, with varied backgrounds and expertise but, all with a common conviction. ⁣
⁣
I look forward to working together with this dynamic group to ensure the world's promise to ensure respect for the human rights of girls and women, including their sexual and reproductive rights , as well as ensure equal opportunities. Said in another way - ensure the basic right to decide freely and responsibly on the number and spacing of their children and to have the information, education and means to do so. A promise worth keeping...

"So here is another photo of me in front of my computer "

Don’t know why, but I got a smile on my face while reading that phrase from Mary in her update from her virtual meeting today. Because it's very relatable! So many people sit at home behind their computers and work day after day in these lockdown times... and what else can you post: Other than another picture of yourself behind your computer.

Besides that, it's a important case. The pandemic hits everywhere, but it hits extra hard at already very vulnerable people/places. One can fear that all the work for girls' and women's rights has gone a step back during this pandemic.
