  1. Sexual and reproductive health and rights in epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response

Summary

Since 1972, the UN cosponsored special programme, HRP, has pursued a vision of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. This is the third in a series of stories to share key moments from HRP’s history and the impact of its work on advancing the attainment of SRHR.

Since the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, HRP has established a Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Outbreak Working Group (OWG) to conduct rigorous research on sexual and reproductive health in epidemic and pandemic situations and ensure the findings translate to benefits in countries.
