Foreword
We are pleased to present this second report of the
As the Commission launches this report, our world is on the cusp of being home to 8 billion people. This is a remarkable achievement, reflecting striking achievements in health care and reductions in poverty over many decades. It brings challenges and opportunities for further advances. One issue already in sharp focus is that all people need to exercise rights and choices as key to their resilience, never more so than now, at a moment of profound change and crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic is in its third year. The war in

In the words of Dr. Natalia Kanem, the current Executive Director of UNFPA, "
As she herself once said, "Reproductive rights involve more than the right to reproduce. They involve support for women in activities other than reproduction, in fact liberating women from a system of values which insists that reproduction is their only function."
This visionary understanding was at the foundation of the ICPD agenda. It galvanized renewed commitment at the Nairobi Summit. It is central to our work as a Commission and torchbearer for sexual and reproductive justice and making rights and choices a reality for all.
By protecting rights and advancing justice, we can unlock the boundless potential of human beings. As 8 billion people, we have the power to alter the course of our shared world so that it works for everyone.

5 Conclusion
The Nairobi Summit illuminated how national mechanisms, donors and international development and humanitarian organizations must better address underlying intersecting injustices and emerging challenges driving poor sexual and reproductive health outcomes. The Summit highlighted the negative impacts of a widespread reluctance to address complex issues intermingling religion; socioeconomic status; disability; gender identity; social, cultural and family life; and limited national and international investment in sexual and reproductive justice.
Towards a more coherent agenda, the
As this report demonstrates, the Commission's 2021 Call to Action remains relevant and vital today. We must do more to create sexual and reproductive justice by establishing better accountability mechanisms; increasing investment in people's movements and alliance-building with parliamentarians; expanding universal health coverage, including sexual and reproductive health; and increasing transparency in financing. As continuing humanitarian crises and growing challenges from transnational anti-democratic movements have taught us, we must think differently and explore digital innovations and self-managed care where possible.
The commitments envisage a deeper analysis and solutions to discrimination embedded in norms, law and practice. Further recommendations could include stipulating that any intervention to achieve the commitments show how it addresses economic obstacles and the specific needs of the range of affected communities addressed in this report.
Lastly, the Commission urges countries to reach further to prioritize those facing the worst disparities in sexual and reproductive justice, and to inspire action with new, powerful narratives that capture the complexity of people's lives and the intersecting forces that oppress them. Sexual and reproductive justice is a new concept that affords ample opportunity for success. It is an optimistic and robust set of approaches destined to transform our thinking and practice. We invite stakeholders to adopt this framework and transform our collective response.
The Commission is heartened by emerging State interventions premised on these concepts and is hopeful that more States and stakeholders will embrace a powerful vision of sexual and reproductive justice for all.
