#HRC41 – Joint CSO statement on SRHR of adolescents and youth (Spanish)

Declaración conjunta de las OSC instando a los estados miembros a respetar, proteger y cumplir con los Derechos y Salud Sexual y Reproductiva de adolescentes y jóvenes durante la 41 sesión del Consejo de Derechos Humanos
Debate general bajo el punto 8 de la agenda.

 

Señor Presidente,

Realizo la presente declaración en nombre de 300 OSC. Mediante la Declaración de Viena y numerosos compromisos regionales e internacionales, donde los estados miembros acordaron respetar, proteger y cumplir los derechos humanos (DDHH) de adolescentes y jóvenes, incluidos el derecho a la vida, autonomía corporal, educación, la Educación Sexual Integral (ESI), supervivencia y desarrollo. Sin embargo, muchos estados miembros dudan en reconocer el papel de la sexualidad de adolescentes y jóvenes más allá de los vínculos con la reproducción.

Las violaciones de los DDHH que afectan a adolescentes y jóvenes deben ubicarse en el contexto de opresiones múltiples e intersectoriales. Millones de jóvenes, especialmente las niñas, son obligadas a tener relaciones sexuales no deseadas o al matrimonio1 , poniéndolas en riesgo de embarazos precoces o no deseados, abortos inseguros, infecciones de transmisión sexual, incluido el VIH, y partos que ponen en peligro su vida.2 De hecho, las complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo y el parto son la principal causa de muerte entre las adolescentes de 15 a 19 años en el mundo.3

Las leyes restrictivas y los requisitos de consentimiento de los padres o la autorización de terceros continúan obstaculizando la plena realización de los derechos y Salud Sexual y Reproductiva (DSSR) de adolescentes y jóvenes. Con la mayor población mundial de jóvenes, millones fracasarán si las violaciones de derechos humanos que nos afectan no se abordan y resuelven de manera efectiva. Instamos al Consejo de DDHH a reconocer y reafirmar los DSSR de adolescentes y jóvenes a través de sus resoluciones, diálogos, debates y EPUs. Además, instamos a los estados miembros a que respeten, protejan y cumplan con los DSSR de adolescentes y jóvenes, con especial atención a aquellos que enfrentan formas múltiples e intersectoriales de opresión, incluso mediante el reconocimiento pleno de su capacidad legal para acceder a ESI y servicios de DSSR de manera autónoma. Los estados deben implementar medidas efectivas para prevenir y eliminar las violaciones de los DSSR de las adolescentes, incluidas las acciones encaminadas a controlar la sexualidad de las niñas, las prácticas nocivas y las intervenciones médicas coaccionadas o negadas, así como para combatir de manera efectiva la impunidad generalizada. Además, proporcionarles reparaciones efectivas, acceso a la justicia y garantías de no repetición en casos de violación y negación de sus derechos corporales.
