Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to include a reference to allocating 10 per cent of Official Development Assistance to sexual and reproductive health and rights to achieve gender equality in the National Statement to be delivered by the UK at the 69th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in March 2025.
The UK's National Statement at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will highlight our commitment to reaffirming the principles of the Beijing Declaration and putting women and girls at the heart of everything we do. This will include our commitment to defending and promoting their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The FCDO is committed to maintaining a strong portfolio of SRHR programming and spend. There are currently no plans to set spending targets on SRHR.
