June "Today I had a virtual meeting with Development Minister Rasmus Prehn and the Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Natalia Kanem, who joined from New York. The last time we all gathered was (as you can see in the picture) on our visit to Indonesia in December 2019. Together we visited a number of programs that worked to strengthen girls and women's rights. And the month before - in November 2019 - we attended Nairobi ICPD25 conference hosted by Kenya, Denmark and UNFPA. The conference marked the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Cairo Declaration, which for the first time established that girls and women have the right to decide over their own bodies. At today's meeting, we discussed how to move forward with the important follow-up work on the more than 1250 national commitments made at the conference. And of course we also talked about the consequences of Covid19 in terms of sexual and reproductive health and rights and the importance of ensuring that women's and girls' special needs are always seen as essential, even in crises. Women do not stop pregnant and give birth just because there is a crisis - it is vital that their special needs continue to be met." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mls Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 19 hours ago, mls said: 44th session of the Human Rights Council, Geneva - Panel of the annual full-day discussion on the human rights of women on accountability for women and girls in humanitarian settings https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=26079&LangID=E Keynote Statement CROWN PRINCESS MARY OF DENMARK, speaking via video message, said that human rights were the basic rights and freedoms that belonged to every person in the world, from birth until death, regardless of the circumstances. Human rights did not end when emergencies began. Just as pregnancies did not end, when emergencies began. Just as childbirths did not end, when emergencies began. Sexual and gender-based violence did not end when emergencies began either. Rather the contrary, they increased. As health facilities globally were overburdened and supply chains disrupted, women and girls faced limitations - particularly in humanitarian settings - in accessing essential health services, including sexual and reproductive health services. Lockdowns increased the risk of violence and exploitation of children. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization had estimated that COVID-19 had impacted schooling for over 70 per cent of children around the globe. Girls living in emergency contexts were at particular risk of not returning to school. Women and girls’ vulnerability in crises was not a sign of weakness, but of inequality. More than anything, women and girls were powerful and resourceful. More than ever, the current health crisis had demonstrated the need for the international community to work together - it had shown that the strength of unity and the power of joining forces was the world’s best weapon. The international community and humanitarian organizations must consider the unique vulnerabilities of women and girls when designing solutions and implementing them.

The opening of the panel is part of Denmark and the Crown Princess 'commitment to women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights, especially in light of the COVID-19 crisis.Denmark’s membership of the UN Human Rights Council focuses on several human rights priorities, with Denmark having a recognized and leading role internationally. Denmark has a special focus on strengthening women's and girls' rights, including their sexual and reproductive health and rights, so that women's right to decide over their own bodies is secured. This is particularly relevant in light of the COVID-19 crisis, which has - and will continue to have - disproportionate consequences for women's and girls' rights globally."
