Key advocacy messages to improve the health of women, children and adolescents - UNGA80

Overview

As the United Nations marks its landmark 80th year, global leaders will convene in New York City to build consensus and confront increasingly complex global challenges. With fewer than five years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the convergence of global geoeconomic shifts, regressive human rights policies, and rising humanitarian crises and conflicts is jeopardizing the future of global health and placing millions of lives at risk.

PMNCH – the world’s largest alliance of more than 1,500 partners dedicated to improving the health of women, children, and adolescents (WCAH) – is calling for political leaders and all stakeholders to urgently prioritize the health and rights of women, children, and adolescents, and scale up policies, investments, and services to address their critical needs.
