Sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) | Global and Sexual Health research group
Human rights related to sexual and reproductive health are closely linked to a variety of charged topics in social debate, including: abortion and contraception, adolescents and gender identity, gender based violence (GBV), access to obstetric care, and other health disparities among men who have sex with men (MSM). Our research explores these topics with the ultimate goal of ensuring sexual and reproductive rights for all.
