Join us in commemorating International Refugee Week as we shed light on Refugee Reproductive Health. In times of displacement and uncertainty, ensuring access to reproductive health services is not only a matter of rights but also essential for the well-being and dignity of individuals and families.
Key Points to Know:
· Global Displacement: Over 82.4 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, including refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced persons. https://www.unhcr.org/us/media/global-trends-forced-displacement-2020
· Access to Reproductive Healthcare: Many refugee women lack access to essential reproductive health services such as prenatal care, safe delivery options, and postnatal support.
· Empowering Refugees: Empowering refugees with knowledge about reproductive health rights, available services, and family planning options as well as creating community engagement may greatly support and improve refugee reproductive health outcomes.
