Abstract
Sexual and reproductive rights have been on the international health-policy agenda since the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994.1,2 International laws on human rights provide well-established conceptual frameworks for sexual and reproductive health rights,3,4 but how far are they relevant to the policy debate in eastern and southern Africa?
