World leaders and ministers gathered last week at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, to discuss how the 17 global goals on Sustainable Development can be reached by 2030 - leaving no one behind. 

Last week SheDecides, in partnership with the Global Safe Abortion Dialogue, hosted a concurrent session at Women Deliver 2023. The session, titled “Abortion is Healthcare: UHC Best Practices, from Politics to Provision” explored best practices, progress and innovations on delivering abortion as essential healthcare.

With the target of achieving the SDGs just a few years away, many are looking at how Universal Health Coverage (UHC) can help achieve global goals on gender equality and health. Isn't it time we prioritize abortion care as an essential part of women and young people’s health and human rights? Guiding Group Co-Chair Sonali Silva explores.

SheDecides is excited to attend Women Deliver 2023 in Kigali this July. The moment presents an opportunity to come together, connect with allies and speak out for bodily autonomy and for a world all people can decide what to do with their bodies, lives and futures.

We are delighted to welcome four new SheDecides Champions to the movement, each committing to taking action so women and girls everywhere can decide about their bodies, lives and future. Read more about them here.
