Youth organizations have declared their support for HB 4244, calling sexual and reproductive rights "inalienable human rights which must be fulfilled by the State."
A statement by the organizations signed May 24 said the controversial Reproductive Health bill will offer an "avenue to learn and understand our sexuality and rights," promote gender equality, reduce unplanned pregnancies and respect the right to free and informed choice.
The statement was signed by youth organizations, including several student organizations and student councils of the University of the Philippines.
