This regional profile is an effort to highlight indicators related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and sexual and reproductive rights (SRR) across 15 countries in the region: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. ARROW came together with partners in these countries to promote SRHR for all as part of a project funded by the European Union.
This report highlights the significance of addressing the gaps in the SRHR agenda in the 2030 Agenda world where many countries remain far from achieving the goals that they had initially set out during ICPD as well as the Beijing Platform for Action. It also highlights the moral imperative that all state governments reassess and recognise the status and the contexts in which marginalised communities, including women and young people, still remain deprived of their rights.
