Accountability for SRHR in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Schaaf, M., Boydell, V., Van Belle, S., Brinkerhoff, D. W., & George, A. (2020). Accountability for SRHR in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reproductive Health Matters, 28(1), Article 1779634. https://doi.org/10.1080/26410397.2020.1779634
Given the importance of sex and reproduction in social life and in health, we cannot ignore them, particularly during crises. It is unsurprising that SRHR brings along particular political and accountability considerations during a pandemic, yet this has not received due attention. Promoting accountability is even more urgent, as SRHR health and rights concerns grow more acute in crisis circumstances, and modes of governance and oversight practices are relaxed in the name of emergency response.
