Government of Germany

Svenja Schulze, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development

Being a SheDecides Champion means to me, realising a feminist approach and striving towards a more just world in which all people, irrespective of their sex, gender, origin, skin colour or social status, are able to decide over their bodies. It means standing up for women’s and girls’ rights, and realising equal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. It also includes advocating for the most vulnerable and ensuring that no one is left behind in the realisation of the fundamental right to health and self-determination.
