Investing in Womens Reproductive Health Equals Investing in Economic and Social Progress for Everyone Achieving gender equality requires addressing the reproductive health needs of women. However, despite improvements in gender equality in other domains, too little progress has been achieved on this critical front. The lack of investment in reproductive health is a missed opportunity for development. This panel will review the economic benefits of investing in reproductive health, including improved labour productivity, reduced out-of-pocket expenditures, enhanced the human capital of future generations, and increased economic growth. Investing in reproductive health is smart economics for policy makers in developing countries, but obstacles still exist. We will explore proven and promising policy levers to accelerate progress. Presenter: Moderator: Panel: Jeni Klugman, Director of Gender and Development, World Bank Group Norman Pearlstine, Chief Content Officer, Bloomberg News Lakshmi Puri, Acting Head, UN Women Peter Baxter, Director General, AusAID Otaviano Canuto, Vice President and Head of Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network, World Bank Group Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO, Global Fund for Women

11:30 13:00 Investing in Girls It is universally recognised that girls access to education is key to their future contributions to society and their own sense of fulfillment. Enabling girls to participate fully in all aspects of family, political and community life is critical to gender equality. The panel will explore continuing barriers and challenges to ensuring that every girl has access to an education and the experiences and rights that will enable her to flourish. Moderator: Panel: Kathy Calvin, President and CEO, United Nations Foundation Maria Eitel, President and CEO, Nike Foundation Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, General Secretary, World YWCA Reeta Roy, President and CEO, MasterCard Foundation Dr. Nafis Sadik, Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General

14:45 16:15 Women's Health The reproductive health paradigm established at Cairo called for a holistic women-centred approach to achieve comprehensive reproductive health care. Over the past years, we have come to understand that broader issues of womens health also need to be seen as part of that comprehensive approach. The dramatic increase in non-communicable diseases from cancers to

diabetes affects reproductive health. Womens mental health, infertility and sexuality are all still neglected. The disproportionate number of women in poverty is a further health challenge. A life cycle approach to womens health is sorely needed. This panel will explore those challenges, and ways in which womens health needs can better be meet. Moderator: Karl Hofmann, President and CEO, Population Services International Panel: Barbara Bush, Co-Founder and CEO, Global Health Corps Ana Langer, Director, The Women and Health Initiative, Harvard School of Public Health Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway Harshad Sanghvi, Vice President Innovations and Medical Director, Jhpiego 16:30 17:55 Women Lead - Opportunities and Challenges There is no doubt that substantial progress has been made in womens leadership, not just in traditional areas such as health and education but as leaders in finance, government and communications, and as cultural icons. Younger women can rise to leadership sooner. Yet, even the worlds most powerful women speak of challenges and of being ignored. This will be a lively and intimate look at how women leaders see their own leadership. It will also explore the latest in leadership theories, with the panelists perceptions of what makes for great leaders in the 21st Century. Moderator: Panel: Ghida Fakhry, Al Jazeera Chelsea Clinton, Board Member, Clinton Foundation Graa Machel, Advocate for girls and womens rights and Member, High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post2015 Development Agenda Her Excellency Ms. Tarja Halonen, Former President of Finland Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund

In Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by Taliban. Her crime: advocating for girls education. In India, a young medical student was raped and murdered by a gang of five assailants. Every 20 minutes, a woman in India is raped. Since the 1990s, successive waves of murders of young women have left hundreds of women dead. In South Africa, a woman is killed by an intimate partner every eight minutes. Women Deliver is dedicated to ending violence against women. This panel will discuss what is happening, why, and what can be done to end it.

16:30 17:55 Contraception Contextualized: Advocating for the Core Values of the Post2015 Agenda The renewed effort to ensure that 120 million women and couples have access to the contraception they want by 2020 has reinvigorated the sexual and reproductive health and rights community. Now, we need to inspire the larger community focused on the post 2015 agenda to join with us as we need to join with them. The effort to make contraception available is not a stand-alone agenda. Its part of our commitment to reduce poverty, enhance human rights, feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty and share the wealth we have with those who need it. Doing this requires innovative ways of thinking and acting. Hear how social innovators, powerful advocates and provocative thinkers get the messages out and change peoples minds Moderator: Panel: Gabrielle Fitzgerald, Director of Program Advocacy, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Esther Agbarakwe, Youth advocate for family planning and climate change, Nigeria Peter Singer, Ira W.

The Development Agenda Through a Womans Lens We are moving toward the adoption of new goals for development, framed under the theme of a sustainable world. Yet, the goals established in various UN documents such as the ICPD Program of Action, The Beijing Platform of Action and the MDGs especially those related to reproductive healthare far from achieved; In some cases they are still controversial and inadequate for the challenges of the future. How can the new development goals adequately address womens rights and needs? This panel will provide some answers.

13:15 14:45 Plenary Lunch: How to Think About Population, Sustainability and Womens Rights From the first conference on population and development in Bucharest in 1974, the question of whether population growth contributes to poverty and environmental degradation has been contested. The development of a woman-centred human rights approach to population at the Cairo conference was lauded by some as a paradigm shift and by others as diminishing the financial commitment to reproductive health. The increasing interest in reducing the negative effects of climate change has opened the debate once again. This panel will discuss that debate

and what it means for women.
