SRHR are an often vaguely-understood and overlooked component in development; yet their role is fundamental to achieving “sustainable well-being for all” in “the world we want”— two popular catchphrases in the post-2015 debate.

The purpose of this brief is to examine the role and importance of SRHR holistically in the development scenario within the context of their linkages to other fundamental human rights as well as with the global poverty and hunger eradication objective; and put forward essential recommendations for them to be given their rightful place in the post-2015 agenda.
