Párrafo
Paragraph text
The role of human rights defenders in disseminating information about sexual and reproductive rights, whether as part of State institutions set up for this purpose, through non-governmental organizations or through the formal education system, needs to be clearly defined in legislation relating to public morals to ensure that such activities are not criminalized. Defenders who provide evidence-based sexual and reproductive health information and education should in no circumstances face criminal sanctions, in line with article 6 (b) of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders (see also A/66/254, para. 65).
