The Blue Wristband Campaign
ACCESS for SUCCESS
At the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), 179 country leaders agreed that all countries should take appropriate measures to ensure:
Universal access to education, with special attention to closing the gender gap in primary and secondary education; and
Universal access to health care services, including those related to reproductive health care, namely family planning and sexual health.
In short, ACCESS to education and reproductive healthcare for SUCCESS in achieving the MDGs!
Reproductive and child health advocates, and the general public are encouraged to promote universal access to reproductive health care by wearing the ACCESS for SUCCESS wristband.
ACCESS for SUCCESS wristbands capitalizes on a popular way to publicly show support for a cause.
Reproductive health advocates may use ACCESS for SUCCESS wristbands in their own advocacy campaigns and events leading up to the Summit and beyond.
The following organizations have incorporated Face to Face ACCESS for SUCCESS wristbands into their population and reproductive health advocacy and training initiatives:
