World Refugee Day

June 20

Join us in commemorating International Refugee Week and day 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.

ReproNet is committed to supporting and empowering Refugees with credible reproductive health topics including Cervical Cancer Prevention, family planning, Maternal Health, and more which can all be found on our digital library in multiple languages: https://repronet.org/ .
