Support the Global Sexual and Reproductive Health Act of 2010
This groundbreaking piece of legislation would fundamentally transform U.S. foreign assistance policy regarding sexual and reproductive health.
The Global Sexual and Reproductive Health Act of 2010 (H.R. 5121) changes the way the U.S. does business abroad by calling for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health programs and a continuum of care that is responsive to the range of sexual and reproductive needs of young people and adults.

H.R. 5121 includes a section specifically focused on the provision and promotion of sexual and reproductive health care for youth, including comprehensive sexuality education and youth involvement in program design and delivery.
