ICPD Resolutions After Five Years

[Source: Tracking Country Commitments to Cairo, 12 Feb 1999, Women's Features Service]

A key principle of the Programme of Action chalked out at the International Conference on Population and Development (IPCD), at Cairo in 1994, is promoting gender equality, equity and empowerment of women, eliminating violence against women, and making sure that women have control over their fertility.

The main agenda of the resent ICPD+5, at the Hague, was to review the implementation of the Cairo consensus. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which organised the five-day conference, produced a background document with a five-year review of ICPD, highlighting the experiences of some countries in meeting these goals.
