Sexual and reproductive health and rights in Europe: a mixed picture of progress and challenges calls for robust action and commitment

This report is a follow-up to, and complements, the 2017 Issue Paper on Women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights in Europe and is intended to assist member states with their ongoing efforts to improve the enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health and rights.

The report highlights some of the concerns in certain areas of sexual and reproductive health and rights and provides a concise overview of important recent developments in relevant international human rights standards and international public health and technical guidelines. It draws on the Commissioner’s country work, expert meetings with civil society organisations and dialogue with member states.
