The Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights announces
the publication of Health and Human Rights Vol. 4, No. 2, with a special
focus on reproductive and sexual rights.
How far have we come in making reproductive and sexual rights a reality in
the last five years? Leaders in the field explore developments in reproduc-
tive and sexual rights since the International Conference on Population and
Development (Cairo, 1994) and the Fourth World Conference on Women (Bei-
jing, 1995), with respect to both conceptual development and efforts toward
implementation around the globe. The table of contents appears below for
the issue, an important resource as the UN Special Session on Beijing + 5
approaches.
