Agenda Item 4.0 Acting as One4.1 Acting Together for Reproductive JusticeThe new IPPF Strategic Framework guides the Federation in serving local communities through innovative approaches that advance rights and fundamental freedoms and shift norms and policies to address intersecting inequalities. Traditional, siloed SRHR approaches are no longer sufficient: we must evolve to embrace a sexual and reproductive justice framework that truly delivers on the bold new vision set out in IPPF’s Strategy 2028. People, especially in the communities IPPF serves, do not face challenges to their SRHR separately from challenges related to climate change, racism, refugee or migratory status, age, and gender inequalities, among others. This panel brings together UN, government, civil society, and youth representatives to discuss their commitment to act together to achieve sexual and reproductive justice and fulfil the promises of the Nairobi Summit and 2030 Agenda.

Agenda Item 5.0 Leadership Transitions and Amendments of IPPF Regulations and Byelaws5.1 Leadership Transitions: Confirmation of appointments to the Board of Trustees (BoT)As part of the 2020 Governance Reform, one third of the Board rotates off on annual basis. This enables the board to keep bringing new blood and allows continuity. The renewal process is the outcome of the Nomination and Governance (NGC) review of the performance of Individual trustees. Following this review, the NGC put forward those candidates for their re-appointment by the board (if eligible) subject to the General Assembly’s (GA)confirmation. In addition, following a voluntary non-renewal of their term by one of the trustees, the NGC recruits a candidate for this seat. The candidate that has been recruited by the NGC and confirmed by the BOT will be put forward the GA for confirmation. Speaker:

Agenda Item 5.0 Leadership Transitions and Amendments of IPPF Regulations and Byelaws5.2 Leadership Transitions: Appointments of new members for the vacant seats within the Nominations and Governance Committee (NGC)As per IPPF Regulation 3 (8), the membership of the NGC is expected to be staggered to maintain continuity of organisational knowledge and expertise within the Committee. To comply with this, two of the current NGC members will be stepping down following the appointment by the GA of three new members. This is the outcomes of the thorough process followed by the NGC to recruit new members for this governing body. It is to be noted that NGC members can serve for a term up to three years, with the possibility of re-appointment once only i.e. a maximum of two terms in total. While appointing two new members, the GA will be re-appointing for a second and final term, four of its existing members. Speaker:

The Art of Sin Film ScreeningDirector Ibrahim Mursal fights to face down his own prejudices in his captivating documentary, an intimate portrait of a young refugee looking to find his place in the world. Sudanese artist Ahmed Umar arrived in Norway in 2008 as a political refugee from his homeland, then one of seven countries to punish same-sex conduct with the death penalty. Seven years later, many in the Sudanese community turn on him when he comes out on Facebook, and the young artist soon discovers that even liberal Norway can hold perils for openly gay immigrants. Despite everything, Ahmed longs to return home and reconnect with his roots – but will his country and his family accept or reject him? Crossing cultures and countries, Mursal’s film captures the essence of a remarkable individual as he evolves before our eyes. Location: Grand Ballroom |
