On 7 July 2026, the Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted, as orally revised and without a vote, Resolution 62/18 on women’s and girls’ full enjoyment of human rights in humanitarian situations. Its preamble is the first negotiated United Nations outcome to name reproductive violence as a distinct category of gender-based violence, listing forced contraception or denial of contraception, forced pregnancy, forced abortion, and forced sterilisation, ‘including when undertaken with the intent to destroy a group.’
