Bridging the Gap: Fiscal Justice for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Africa
5 May 2021 @ 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM EDT
FreeChristian Aid invites you to join our webinar on Wednesday 5th May, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm BST. We’ll have a panel of experts from UNFPA, FEMNET, ACT Alliance and World YWCA join us to discuss how fiscal justice can help overcome barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). In 2019, we brought together advocates of fiscal justice and of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in researching how progressive fiscal policies can help close the gaps in financing and delivery of SRHR. We’ve published the findings in this briefing: Bridging the Gap.
Now, at a time when access to SRHR is needed more than ever, there are concerns that limited resources are being redirected to other priorities, exacerbating the gendered impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Please join us to discuss what can be done.
