How ever, there is much to be done to keep the promises that were
made in 2000 at the United Nations by the 189 governments who
adopted the Millennium Declaration. The US was one of those 189
countries and currently has the unique opportunity to ensure
that foreign policy being negotiated at the United Nations
reflects the policies and priorities of the current US
administration.

Universal access to reproductive health is key to achieving the
Millennium Development Goals, (MDGs) because it is essential in
reducing maternal mortality, preventing unwanted pregnancies,
curbing the spread of sexuality transmitted infections
(including HIV and AIDS), empowering women and girls and
building a more sustainable world for all people. Yet progress
towards MDG 5 and particularly 5b has been slow and uneven.

US commitments to the Millennium Development Goals are integral
to the empowerment of women around the world. This week, the US
has the chance to shape the outcome document from the upcoming
High-Level MDG Summit and to accelerate progress on reaching the
goals that are lagging behind, particularly MDG 5b.

I urge you to push for the strongest possible language in the
outcome document, to ensure that progress in reaching MDG 5b is
accelerated, and that specific action steps to achieve MDG 5b
are mentioned. This is a crucial moment for the United States to
demonstrate its full commitment to promoting and protecting the
human rights of women and girls, including their sexual and
reproductive rights, as per existing international agreements.

As someone who cares about global health and the well being of
women and girls, I hope you will make sure that the United
States keeps it promise and provides leadership in achieving MDG
5b.
