About this Event
This term’s Cambridge Reproduction Forum will convene a cross-disciplinary community of researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and advocates to examine the challenges and opportunities in advancing global SRHR. Through a series of thematic interdisciplinary dialogues, the Forum will foster critical dialogue across disciplines and sectors to generate actionable insights and strengthen collaborative approaches.
The programme will include a session on the current landscape of global reproductive politics, exploring policy, funding, and geopolitical dynamics; a session on navigating reproductive justice in diverse contexts, with attention to structural inequities and lived experiences; and a dedicated session on global adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, highlighting gaps in research, policy, and service delivery.
This event will be in-person, in Cambridge.
