How do you implement a Rights Based Approach (RBA) in the reality you are working in?

This is the central question that World Population Foundation and Youth Incentives put forward at a two-day International Conference “Rights and Realities in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights”.

At this conference challenges related to the implementation of a RBA in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights will be further explored and discussed. On the basis of best practices, strategies will be identified how to overcome these challenges.
The conference is meant for policymakers, programme officers, field staff, NGO-representatives and youth organisations who have to deal with sexuality issues in their professional work. The organisers invite you to share experiences, learn from each other, inspire and get inspired.
