Metadata
| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) | Indicator 5.6.2 seeks to provide the first comprehensive global assessment of legal and regulatory frameworks in line with the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action (PoA), the Beijing Platform for Action, and international human rights standards. Even where positive laws are in place, legal barriers can undermine full and equal access to sexual and reproductive health care, information, and education; the methodology is designed to capture this. The percentage value reflects a country’s status and progress in the existence of national laws and regulations that guarantee full and equal access to sexual and reproductive health care, information, and education. By reflecting the “extent to which” countries guarantee full and equal access to sexual and reproductive health care, information, and education, this indicator allows cross-country comparison and within-country progress over time to be captured. |
| Target value of the indicator and its evaluation | Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as agreed in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome documents of their review conferences. |
