Submission to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review of the U.S.: Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
Fourth Cycle, 50th Session of the UPR, Human Rights Council, November 2025
Over the last five years, retrogression in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has reached extreme levels in the U.S. This submission by the Center for Reproductive Rights and its partners to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review of the U.S. outlines threats to (1) abortion access; (2) maternal health; and (3) foreign assistance for SRHR. Other joint reports submitted by CUNY Human Rights and Gender Justice Clinic, the Global Justice Center, Physicians for Human Rights, and others provide additional detail on SRHR violations.
