Reproductive health and emergency situations

We are pleased to invite you to an exciting meeting with an eminent specialist from UNFPA, Wilma Doedens. Wilma will give a short presentation on recent developments in how we are thinking about reproductive and sexual health in refugee situations, why we have changed our mind on how best to address the needs of such a vulnerable group, and what is holding this up. After the presentation there will be discussion and exchange of experiences facilitated by Vibeke Rasch and Siri Tellier.

Tea and refreshment will be served.

Registration: by Thursday 29 April by email to Lise Rosendal Østergaard [liro@sund.ku.dk].
