Historical development of the global political agenda around sexual and reproductive health and rights: A literature review

- There have been very complex and long-term processes for the SRHRs to be acknowledged and included in the political agenda.

- People who strongly value their cultural, traditional and religious beliefs make the acceptance of SRHRs difficult.
- Sociocultural, political, economic and biological barriers are linked to the SRHRs of women to access health services over their life cycle.
- There can be no one solution, or even a series of technical solutions, to such complex issue.
