Conference on reproductive health and women's rights in Europe
This conference, to be held from 28-30 April 2008 in Stockholm/Sweden will be co-hosted by the European Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development (EPF), the Swedish Family Planning Association RFSU and the Swedish All-party Parliamentary Group. It intends to take stock of public health policies and attitudes towards reproductive health and women’s rights in
Europe
with a special focus on the new member states almost three years after joining the EU.
Europe
has and predominantly remains committed to the advancement of reproductive health and women’s rights. However, recent events in
Lithuania
,
Albania
,
Estonia
, the
UK
,
Spain
and
Italy
where political forces aim to restrict these positive developments give reason to discuss the future direction of European government’s commitment to these policies and to examine the underlying causes for this foreshadowed change in directions.
