<p>The UK is proud to defend and promote universal and comprehensive sexual and reproductive
rights (SRHR). We are committed to working with our partners to drive progress and
demonstrate leadership on SRHR on the global stage and in our programmes. This includes
the recent announcement that up to £200 million will be delivered towards the Women's
Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) Dividend programme focussed between 2024-29 on sub-Saharan
Africa, which has the highest rates of maternal mortality, neonatal deaths and unmet
need for family planning in the world.</p><p>In March 2023, the FCDO published the
UK's International Women and Girls Strategy which sets out our plan to promote and
defend the rights of women and girls. In this, we committed to ensure that at least
80% of FCDO's bilateral aid programmes should have a focus on gender equality, using
OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) markers, by 2030.</p>
