Civil society, government leaders, healthcare professionals, policymakers, two former US presidents' daughters, two princesses and at least one supermodel will meet in Malaysia this week for a conference to share ideas and sharpen messages around the rights and empowerment of women and girls to influence the future development agenda. The third Women Deliver global conference, held every three years, is timely as the international community looks ahead to what will come after the millennium development goals when they expire in 2015. The three-day event, beginning on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, will focus on women and girls' health, specifically around maternal and reproductive healthcare and rights. Topics discussed will cover a wide spectrum, from preventing early or forced marriage, and sex education for young people to family planning, abortion and universal healthcare.
