Background & Purpose
During the 2024 and 2025 motion periods, opposition parties submitted 178 proposals suggesting changes to how Sweden supports sexual and reproductive health in other countries. These proposals were rejected, as the parliament determined that current strategies and ongoing work are sufficient.
The Decision
The parliament voted to reject all 178 opposition proposals, meaning that no new laws or changes to the current aid policy will be implemented.
Does this affect you?
- International aid organizations: These organizations will continue to operate under the same funding and policy frameworks as before.
- Foreign aid recipients: The support provided by Sweden for sexual and reproductive health remains at the current level without new policy adjustments.
In Practice
- Sweden continues to follow its existing guidelines for international aid.
- No new projects or policy shifts will be initiated as a result of these specific motions.
- The government's current work on these issues remains unchanged.
