Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

While the SDGs are universal in nature, with the aim of leaving no one behind, inequalities stemming from nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity and orientation, marital status, age and other factors influence one’s access to resources and the ability to exercise basic rights, including the right to sexual and reproductive health. In Cameroon like most developing countries, the poorest girls and women have the least power to decide whether or when to become pregnant. They also have the least access to quality care during pregnancy and childbirth, and this often results in maternal death. This inequality has lasting repercussions for girl’s and women’s health, educational opportunities, career and earning potential, and for their contribution to Cameroon’s development and the elimination of poverty.
