73-country expert coalition urges global abolition of surrogacy

Experts from 73 countries issued a joint call for states to abolish surrogacy, framing it as universal exploitation of women for reproductive purposes. The declaration signals growing international political momentum against commercial and altruistic surrogacy, though it remains non-binding and faces opposition from reproductive-rights advocates. The initiative could influence future national legislation and international norms, but its immediate policy impact is uncertain.
