Dr. Kamilia Helmy Highlights the Most Concerning Aspects of the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Kamilia Helmy, Chair of the Family Committee at the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS)<\/strong>, presented an in-depth analysis of the most critical aspects<\/strong> of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During her address at the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Its Impact on the Family”<\/strong> conference, held on Tuesday, January 7, 2025<\/strong>, at the headquarters of the Association of Turkish Scholars (UMAD) in Istanbul<\/strong>, she outlined the agenda\u2019s potential threats to family values and societal structures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Background of the 2030 Agenda<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Helmy traced the origins of the UN global document<\/strong>, which was launched during the General Assembly meeting in New York in September 2015<\/strong>. The 2030 Agenda<\/strong> was designed as a foundation for governments to shape their policies and development strategies<\/strong>, including national visions for sustainable development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, she warned that the agenda seeks to implement radical changes in legislation<\/strong> related to family structures<\/strong>, as well as reforming education curricula and media programs<\/strong> to align with its objectives.<\/p>\n

Key Concerns About the 2030 Agenda<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Helmy highlighted several critical issues that pose a threat to family cohesion and identity<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Opposition to Early Lawful Marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The 2030 Agenda<\/strong> classifies early legal marriage<\/strong> as a “harmful practice” and promotes its eradication<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2\ufe0f\u20e3 Promotion of Illicit Relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The agenda advocates for “universal access to sexual and reproductive health services”<\/strong>, including family planning services and awareness programs<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • These programs target all individuals, including adolescents and unmarried youth<\/strong>, effectively encouraging non-marital relationships<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3\ufe0f\u20e3 Legalization of Homosexuality and Gender Ideology<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • The integration of “gender” concepts<\/strong> into national policies challenges fixed biological and social roles<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • This fluid approach<\/strong> allows individuals to freely choose their gender identity and relationships<\/strong>, contradicting natural human disposition and religious values<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        4\ufe0f\u20e3 Elimination of Gender Roles<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • The agenda insists on eradicating differences between men and women<\/strong>, considering them a form of “discrimination against women.”<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • This requires legislative changes<\/strong> to enforce absolute gender equality<\/strong>, which could undermine the complementary nature of family roles<\/strong>, leading to family disintegration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Call for Awareness and Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Dr. Helmy\u2019s speech was a warning<\/strong> against the potential dangers of the 2030 Agenda\u2019s influence on family laws and social structures<\/strong>. She called for raising awareness and actively engaging<\/strong> in efforts to protect family values<\/strong> and preserve societal harmony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          Conference and Organizers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          The event was organized by the Family Committee at the International Union of Muslim Scholars<\/strong>, in collaboration with the Association of Turkish Scholars (UMAD)<\/strong>. It gathered scholars, intellectuals, and policymakers<\/strong> to discuss the implications of global development policies on traditional family systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
