Realizing Sexual and Reproductive Justice (RESURJ) Print E-mail
Realizing Sexual and Reproductive Justice (RESURJ) is an international alliance of feminist activists seeking full implementation of international commitments to secure all women’s and young people’s sexual and reproductive rights and health by 2015. RESURJ was launched at the 44th Commission on Population and Development, in April 2011.
 
“RESURJ by 2015″ is a 10-point action agenda that places women’s and young people’s human rights, particularly sexual and reproductive rights, participation in decision-making, and accountability at the center of health programs and development efforts.
 
RESURJ is calling on allied groups, individuals, and decision-makers to sign on to the action agenda, which can be done by emailing info@resurj.org. You can learn more about RESURJ by visiting their website, following them on Twitter, or liking them on Facebook.
 
RESURJ is supported by the International Women's Health Coalition.
