The session will emphasize that demographic resilience is built on a foundation of access to justice, as part of an enabling environment to ensure women and girls can exercise their reproductive autonomy and claim their rights throughout their lives. This discussion will underscore that empowering women and safeguarding their rights is not only a moral imperative but also a practical strategy for social stability, economic growth, and effective governance.
