"Madam President, I would also like to add my support to Mr Cashman for his excellent report. There is no doubt that the MDGs have been a success at political level. They have mobilised political activity and indeed public opinion.
Progress has been made, but people around the world continue to suffer from poverty and hunger. There are still 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty. 165 million children suffer stunted growth due to malnutrition. The global goal must be the eradication of poverty. There is no doubt that sustainable development is inextricably linked with this. I think the Irish Presidency has made some progress, particularly in the May conclusions. I recall what the Commissioner said about a single voice for the EU and an integrated framework that is underpinned by human rights addressing issues of hunger, nutrition and climate change.
Importantly though, the post-2015 framework must include sexual and reproductive health rights. A thousand women still die needlessly in childbirth every day. It is critical to ensure that, when we come to agree on the commitments and the framework that will replace the MDG, sexual and reproductive rights are at the top of the agenda."@en1
