The ICPD Programme of Action and the Sustainable Development Goals both underscore the essential role of sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights in development. Despite significant progress on many aspects of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), challenges remain, and they are exacerbated by rising anti‐rights movements in many countries. At a time when SRHR is under threat, it is important to surface evidence that speaks to its critical role in development and its inextricable connections to multiple global goals. In this commentary, we argue that investing in SRHR is strategic because it yields substantial benefits to individuals, economies, societies, the environment, and peace and security, and thus contributes to progress on related goals. We encourage SRHR advocates to leverage the broad array of arguments to bolster decision‐makers’ and other stakeholders’ support of SRHR, alongside the well‐established arguments grounded in cost‐effectiveness, and returns on health and human rights. With the world falling short of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and conservative forces threatening to undo the progress that has been made, urgent and collective action on multiple fronts is needed. By recognizing that many development priorities are interconnected, we can accelerate progress through cross‐movement advocacy and mobilization.

性与生殖健康与权利与全球发展

国际人口与发展会议行动纲领和可持续发展目标都强调了性和生殖健康以及生殖权利在发展中的重要作用。尽管在性和生殖健康与权利 （SRHR） 的许多方面取得了重大进展，但挑战仍然存在，许多国家日益高涨的反人权运动加剧了这些挑战。在 SRHR 受到威胁的时候，重要的是要拿出证据来证明它在发展中的关键作用及其与多个全球目标的千丝万缕的联系。在这篇评论中，我们认为投资于 SRHR 具有战略意义，因为它为个人、经济、社会、环境以及和平与安全带来了巨大的好处，从而有助于相关目标的进展。我们鼓励 SRHR 倡导者利用广泛的论点来支持决策者和其他利益相关者对 SRHR 的支持，以及基于成本效益以及健康和人权回报的公认论点。由于世界未能实现可持续发展目标，保守势力威胁要破坏已经取得的进步，因此需要在多条战线上采取紧急的集体行动。通过认识到许多发展优先事项是相互关联的，我们可以通过跨运动的倡导和动员来加速进展。
