“We are more than 200 CSOs representing various groups, constituencies and concerns bound together by the commitment to strengthen the inter-linkages among rights, development and sustainability and ensure prioritized attention for the most marginalized. In all areas of SDG planning, implementation and monitoring, we demand special and immediate attention to grassroots and marginalized constituencies including Indigenous Peoples, women, farmers, workers, fisherfolk, urban poor, LGBTQI, people living with HIV/AIDS, young people, aging people, youth, migrants, disabled and Dalit populations”.
