Kiribati access to essential life-saving RH services and protection from violence in emergencies.
Commitment description:In alignment with the Nairobi ICPD25 Summit global commitments for “SRHR in Humanitarian and Fragile Contexts”, the KV20 and the Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Bill, we, the Government of Kiribati acknowledge that women, young people and other vulnerable populations disproportionately face heightened risk of Gender Based Violence and additional barriers to SRHR during disasters. We therefore commit to ensuring populations affected by disasters have access to essential life-saving RH services and protection from all forms of violence to reduce morbidity, mortality and disability. By 2022, we will have integrated the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) in disaster management plans and response efforts.
