FIGO has long endorsed the right of every woman and man to establish a family, as affirmed in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We also recognise that couples and individuals who desire but are unable to achieve a healthy pregnancy have needs that must be addressed: infertility and subfertility affects an estimated 48 million couples (about 15 percent) of reproductive age worldwide.
