This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1968 International Conference on Human Rights, where family planning was, for the first time, globally affirmed to be a human right. And so the theme on World Population Day (July 11) this year is “Family planning is a human right”.
A United Nations note outlining ways to uphold the right to family planning included: non-discrimination of family planning information and services on the basis of race, sex, etc; availability of family planning commodities and services to everyone and that all individuals enjoy the right to privacy when seeking family planning information and services.
