How can people’s sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHRs) around the world be better protected and promoted? Watch panellists at this event present perspectives on:

  • Challenges and good practices in ensuring full access to SRHRs
  • Environmental dimensions of family planning
  • The linkages between a human rights-based social protection framework and access to these rights
  • Current global trends, and what these mean for implementation of the SDGs (and their achievement by 2030).
