It will also discuss key policies, strategies and actions needed to facilitate access of young migrants to reproductive health services in transit cities. The panelists 1 will discuss variations in vulnerabilities in different gateway cities, and implications for the implementation of the GCM, migration-related SDG targets, and related work on the ICPD Program of Action.
