100 years of progress

ABSTRACT

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015, provides a blueprint for the wellbeing of people and the planet. Te crises in Ukraine, Syria and Afghanistan demonstrate the challenges of providing high-quality sexual, reproductive, maternal and newborn healthcare in areas of confict and mass human migration;women (including midwives), adolescent girls and newborns are especially vulnerable in humanitarian emergencies. Te ICM's Push Campaign aims to accelerate progress on reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, advance sexual and reproductive health rights, address key barriers to women's leadership in the global health workforce, and shift underlying gender norms that undervalue women's rights, lives and work.
