Abstract:
Today, it is globally recognized that sexual and reproductive health is a human rights issue critical to economic growth and stability, ending poverty, and fostering sustainable development. Calls for improving sexual and reproductive health, including a spotlight on adolescents and young women, are highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. In this commentary, we aim to (1) briefly review the history and objectives of global development goals, (2) review the adolescent health-related Sustainable Development Goal targets and indicators with a focus on sexual and reproductive health, (3) discuss global progress and challenges in achieving target measures, and (4) examine action steps that clinicians can take to accelerate progress.
