Join the Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights in putting state representatives at the United Nations Headquarters on notice that we are alarmed as the final preparations for the UN High Level Summit on the Millennium Development Goals proceed because:

-Members of civil society, including grassroots social movement alliances, SRHR, women's, youth and human rights advocates and groups representing systematically marginalised communities, continue to find our participation unacceptably limited at MDG negotiations, as well as in related implementation and monitoring processes;

-Language in the outcome document being negotiated does not match up to commitments made under the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action, Beijing Platform for Action, CEDAW, ICESCR and other binding UN human rights frameworks;

-The advisory committee for MDG 5 (maternal health, including universal reproductive health indicators) includes no women and is not representative of the Global South.
