I have very little time, but could you talk a little bit about the impacts
on school-age women and girls who are not able to access **reproductive**
rights and health care?

**reproductive** organs of many young people are harmed because they have
unsafe abortions, and many young people around the world die from having
unsafe abortions. My question to you is this: It seems that everyone wants

women didn't come to them to talk about their **reproductive** health needs.
I always say, “No, women didn't come to you, full stop, and certainly, if
they did come, they wouldn't have talked to you about

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to remind everyone that today is March 7 and
March 8 is International Women's Day. Despite the fact that women have a
right to sexual and **reproductive** health, we must keep up the fight to
protect that right. Dr. Bermejo, knowing that the number

Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on
Monday, June 20, 2022, the committee is resuming its study of sexual and
**reproductive** health and rights of women globally. It is my pleasure to
welcome to the committee three witnesses. First, we have

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am president of the Foundation for Women and Family
Planning, which is the very first Polish NGO leading the process of
advancement of sexual and **reproductive** health and rights in Poland. It
was established in 1991. Since then, we have been monitoring

girls. In the past decade or so, it has completed projects

Okay. Obviously, abortions do happen. The very restrictive law didn't stop
women from getting abortions, but the process to get one might be burdensome
and costly and generate distress. This is also a kind of **reproductive**
injustice, especially because this law beats

Sure. I will do that. Finally, we recommend that Canada support legal
mechanisms, which could be done through the United Nations Human Rights
Council's Universal Periodic Review, and promote recommendations to improve
sexual and **reproductive** health. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. It's an honour and a

Thank you. I'd like to start by acknowledging and thanking all of our
witnesses for not being with us in person but being with us virtually.
Championing the cause of sexual and **reproductive** health and the rights
of women is definitely imperative, and welcoming ideas

and contraception are evidence of sexual and socio-cultural colonialism.
Many Africans are aware that sexual and **reproductive** health and rights
are a proverbial “cockroach in the ice cream” of aid in kind to Africa. Can
there be a shift from a deficit model that thinks that Africa exists

Thank you very much, Ms. Théroux‑Séguin. Ms. Kacpura, I would like to
address a question to you, with the time I have remaining. Do you believe
that women's sexual and **reproductive** rights, including the right to
abortion, are human rights?

It should work to make community services, health care services, academic
curricula here at home and legislation intersect. Legislation is already in
place. I gave the example of Mali, which passed a sexual and
**reproductive** health law in its Parliament 20 years ago. However

policy, act on this study and continue to work to improve sexual and

gradually to reach $10 billion by 2025. The request concerns funding for
all international aid, not just sexual and **reproductive** health. I
believe several areas need to be funded. As I said earlier, in addition to

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today,
on March 7. I am repeating the date because tomorrow, March 8, is
International Women's Day, and the majority of the witnesses have clearly
demonstrated that women's sexual and **reproductive** health

From the very beginning of the war, we were sure that FEDERA had to help and
assist Ukrainian refugees, women and girls, because our government would not
provide them with access to **reproductive** health services. We established
a hotline for women in the Ukrainian language. We

talked to us about the impact on Ukrainians fleeing violence and the
impacts for women and girls fleeing violence in their country. You told some
pretty horrific stories about what some of these women have to go through
and how they have no access to SRHR, to **reproductive** health

Thank you very much, Dr. Fry, for this question. No, there is no
humanitarian exception where you can get access to **reproductive** health
services, especially abortion services. However, we have many informal
initiatives—women's initiatives, above all. My foundation provides

, before we adjourn, there are two quick matters. First of all, the budget
for the study of sexual and **reproductive** health has been sent to all the
members. Is it the will of the committee to adopt the budget?

Thank you very much. Yes, of course, as I told you before, this is
**reproductive** injustice, because this is a draconian, really restrictive
law for the poorest underserved people with no privilege, living in small
towns and villages, and with no money, because, as you know
