This day conference will consider sexual and reproductive health rights from a global perspective. From contraception and disability to reproduction in emergency situations and reproductive rights for specific populations we will use this day to think about the right of all people to decide whether and when they have children. We will consider circumstances where this right is not upheld and new work to improve this situation.
The meeting would be of interest to those who are curious about sexual and reproductive health, ethics, the law, and human rights.
