Additionally, it also serves as a good opportunity to discuss what is at stake for the global Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) architecture in the current environment, affected by increased opposition, and how we can strengthen strategic partnerships to preserve our gains and overcome obstacles.
