Rights-based approach frames an intervention to incorporate human rights and dignity; it empowers the target community by increasing the ability and accountability of individuals and institutions responsible for implementing the intervention. This presentation aims to explore how a rights-based approach to sexual and reproductive health helps us advance overall social progress and well-being at country level. The rights-based approach also ensures that we can overcome the final barriers that prevent us from reaching targets on maternal mortality and adolescent pregnancies.
