The ICPD Programme of Action and the Sustainable Development Goals both underscore the essential role of sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights in development. Despite significant progress on many aspects of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), challenges remain, and they are exacerbated by rising anti-rights movements in many countries. At a time when SRHR is under threat, it is important to surface evidence that speaks to its critical role in development and its inextricable connections to multiple global goals. In this commentary, we argue that investing in SRHR is strategic because it yields substantial benefits to individuals, economies, societies, the environment, and peace and security, and thus contributes to progress on related goals. We encourage SRHR advocates to leverage the broad array of arguments to bolster decision-makers' and other stakeholders' support of SRHR, alongside the well-established arguments grounded in cost-effectiveness, and returns on health and human rights. With the world falling short of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and conservative forces threatening to undo the progress that has been made, urgent and collective action on multiple fronts is needed. By recognizing that many development priorities are interconnected, we can accelerate progress through cross-movement advocacy and mobilization.
《国际人口与发展会议行动纲领》和《可持续发展目标》都强调了性健康和生殖健康以及生殖权利在发展中的重要作用。尽管在性健康和生殖健康及权利的许多方面都取得了重大进展，但挑战依然存在，而且许多国家反权利运动的抬头使这些挑战更加严峻。在性健康和生殖健康及权利受到威胁之际，拿出证据说明其在发展中的关键作用以及与多个全球目标的紧密联系非常重要。在这篇评论文章中，我们认为对性健康和生殖健康及权利进行投资具有战略意义，因为它能给个人、经济、社会、环境以及和平与安全带来巨大益处，从而推动相关目标的实现。我们鼓励性健康和生殖健康及权利的倡导者利用一系列广泛的论据来加强决策者和其他利益相关者对性健康和生殖健康及权利的支持，同时还要利用基于成本效益以及健康和人权回报的既定论据。鉴于世界未能实现可持续发展目标，保守势力又有可能破坏已取得的进展，因此需要在多个方面采取紧急的集体行动。认识到许多发展优先事项相互关联，我们就能通过跨运动宣传和动员来加速进展。
