On World Health Day, we celebrate the successes achieved since the adoption of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action in Cairo, which placed sexual and reproductive health and rights at the heart of development.

UNFPA and the National Council for Women (NCW) organized a series of workshops in partnership with several the Anti-Violence against Women Units. The workshops and activities took place in five different university campuses across Egypt as part of the commemoration of International Women’s Day, with the support of USAID.

The governments of Egypt and Belgium organized a side event during the 68th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), in partnership with UNFPA, UN Women, UNODC, ITU and UNICEF on March 11 in New York.
