"The Summit will focus on five main issues: sexual and reproductive health as part of universal health coverage, the funding required to realize all goals of the ICPD’s Programme of Action, demographic diversity and its power to drive economic growth and sustainable development, measures to end gender-based violence and harmful practices, and the right to sexual and reproductive health care, even in humanitarian and fragile contexts.

Discussions at the summit will also highlight the power of gender equality, youth leadership, political and community leadership, innovation and data, and partnerships to accelerate change."

" Her Royal Highness, Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, called for a stronger evidence base for the effective implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action. She also discussed the difficulties around decision-making to advance sexual and reproductive health globally, pointing out that this was partly because of the private nature and social and cultural sensitivities around sexuality. During the session, the Government of Denmark, which is co-convening ICPD25 with UNFPA and the Government of Kenya, made a commitment to supporting action to make the outcome of ICPD25 a reality through UNFPA and like-minded institutions."
