The Survey solicited responses from developing countries and countries with economies in transition, as well as donor countries. The first chapter after the comprehensive summary and the introduction provides a broad overview of the changes that have taken place in population and development strategies since 1994. This is followed by a chapter on gender-related issues by tracking the progress made by countries in implementing the ICPD POA's gender component in five areas: a) protecting the rights of girls and women; b) women's empowerment; c) gender-based violence; d) gender-based disparities in education; and e) men's support for women's rights The effort to secure equal rights for women and to remove gender discrimination from laws, institutions, and behavioral patterns.

Chapter Four provides a review of reproductive health and rights while Chapter Five focuses on adolescent reproductive health and youth, particularly in relation to a) policy, legal and legislative measures, and b) programmatic and strategic measures taken. Chapter Six discusses HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome as a key component of reproductive health, and a critical factor influencing the achievement of ICPD goals.
