Denmark and Netherlands launch fund for SRHR

The Danish Minister for Trade and Development, Mr. Mogens Jensen and HRH Crown Princess Mary launched a new initiative Amplify Change – a new fund advocating for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). The launch took place in New York earlier this week in connection to the UN General Assembly. The Danish government has allocated 82m Danish krone to the fund.

“The launch of the Amplify Change fund marks an important event,” said Mogens Jensen, Denmark’s minister for trade and development cooperation. “Despite progress, there is a still a huge unfinished agenda in front of us; the right for women and girls to be able to decide freely about their own bodies and live without fear of violence so they can achieve their full potential”.
