Today, the United States announced its decision to rejoin the Geneva Consensus Declaration. This initiative was initially established in 2020 with leadership from the United States and collaboration with Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, and Uganda. The declaration has grown to include more than 35 signatories.
The Geneva Consensus Declaration outlines four main objectives: securing health and development gains for women, protecting life at all stages, defending the family as a fundamental societal unit, and collaborating across the UN system to uphold these values.
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, "The Trump Administration is committed to supporting families, promoting women’s health, and protecting children at all stages of life." The United States aims to pursue these goals in partnership with member states within the UN framework. Emphasizing investment in women's health and well-being is seen as a means to save lives, offer more opportunities for women and girls, and uphold the family structure.
