Media Release:

Australian Government’s policy change essential to achievement of Millennium Development Goal 5: Universal access to reproductive health by 2015

Australia is the only country in the world that still has a ban on family planning advice being part of its overseas aid program says Jane Sloane, Executive Director, International Womens Development Agency. The so-called Mexico City Policy, was announced during the United Nations International Conference on Population held in Mexico City in 1984. It restricted information about abortion for those agencies receiving US funding. Australian policy was changed to reflect this policy under the previous Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard.
