Assessing compliance with human rights obligations would necessitate examining State action beyond the core content of the
right to sexual and reproductive health. However, identifying indicators for the core content of the right provides an important
baseline to be observed by all States.
b
The report specifies that “Sustainable Development Goal indicators should be disaggregated, where relevant, by income, sex,
age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability and geographic location, or other characteristics, in accordance with the Fundamental
Principles of Official Statistics.”
c
The Framework includes the issue of disaggregation in its recommendations, specifying that “for many indicators the
disaggregation by age, sex, socioeconomic status and other dimensions is critical to ensure that no one is left behind, including in
humanitarian and other fragile settings. This will require special attention to data collection, analysis and communication for most
indicators.”
d
OHCHR key messages on the 2030 Agenda explain that “data should be collected and disaggregated by all grounds of
discrimination prohibited under international human rights law, which will require developing new partnerships, methods and data
sources, including non-traditional data sources and data gatherers including civil society”. Additionally, special efforts should be
made to ensure information is collected on the situation of 10-14 year olds.
