Description
Clarisa Bencomo, Terry McGovern, and Oriana López Uribe argue that strong, specialized United Nations bodies remain vital for sexual and reproductive rights. Plans to rebuild the UN system would merge the population fund and the women's agency. The authors see eighty years of gains at stake in that shuffle.
Their 2026 essay credits the UN's spread of laws, norms, and programs for steep drops in maternal deaths and in AIDS deaths among women and girls. The drivers they name are expert agencies with matched mandates, civil society voice in norms and watch, and consensus rule. Each driver, they warn, is now being undercut, and the hard-won gains have begun to slide back.
