| dc.description.abstract | The High-Level Task Force for the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) envisions a world where all women and men, adult and young, have equal opportunities, freedoms and choices to forge their own life aspirations and destinies.
The High-Level Task Force for the ICPD is a group of eminent and distinguished leaders acting in their individual capacities, with a record of service as heads of state, ministers and parliamentarians, civil society, private sector and philanthropic leaders. Co-chaired by former Presidents Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique and Tarja Halonen of Finland, the Task Force was established to provide a bold, progressive voice for advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender equality and the empowerment of women and young people, especially for those living in poverty and otherwise marginalized. Its mission is to galvanize political will to close gaps in ICPD implementation, advance a forward-looking agenda and ensure that these issues are secured as priorities in the Post-2015 Development Agenda. | en_US |
