Last month, the Foundation's Research Coordinator, Emma Shiffman, shared key insights from our work on sexual and #ReproductiveHealth at the 2024 Conference of ANSER - Academic Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Policy. Emma emphasised that #pharma companies' commitments to scale up access to reproductive health medicines need to be tailored in a way that they can be held accountable and so that other stakeholders, such as academia and civil society, can track and allocate additional resources, and help address existing disparities.

A new survey of 2,570 female patients across Australia reveals that over 70% of Aussie women face gender bias in healthcare. Conducted by the National Women's Health Advisory Council, the report found that the highest incidents occurred in sexual and reproductive health and chronic pain. These experiences are often disrespectful and demeaning interactions while undergoing the most private and vulnerable screenings.

Happy #SelfCareDay! Today, we're proud to launch new guidance to support countries implementing and scaling up self-care interventions for health & well-being.    HRP Director Pascale Allotey marked the day saying: "In the five years since the World Health Organization published its landmark 2019 guideline on self-care interventions for health, which focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights (#SRHR), over 47 countries have taken the vital step of amending national policies on SRHR to include self-care options as additional choices complementing facility-based health care. This guidance for health systems builds on that momentum, providing a springboard to implement WHO’s evidence-based self-care recommendations and practices equitably and sustainably."    Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dCwKbsDh New guidelines ⏬

At Nurx by Thirty Madison, we conducted a survey to understand how women are feeling about their reproductive and sexual health given our current political environment. The results underline the importance of providing evidence-based medical information to help women make the best choices for their individual needs. The findings also emphasize that now is a time for action. As healthcare providers and as women, we need to speak up and speak out in support of women’s health. That’s why Nurx has launched an initiative to support women and their reproductive freedoms. Over the coming months, we’ll be providing education and actions we can all take to help women understand their reproductive healthcare choices.
