Launch of the Caribbean Observatory on SRHR
- September 30, 2021
- 9:00 a.m.
The UNFPA Caribbean is pleased to invite you to the launch of the Caribbean Observatory on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), to be held on Thursday, September 30, 2021, at 10 a.m. EST. The Caribbean Observatory is an important initiative to help advance SRHR in the region. It will be hosted by a civil society organisation with a regional scope working in SRHR and representing vulnerable populations.
This Observatory will be established under Pillar 3 of the Spotlight Initiative Regional Programme to contribute to “strengthening regional cooperation to prevent and respond to family violence in the Caribbean”. It is aimed at advocating for strengthened policy and programmatic linkages between family violence and SRHR, which will improve coverage, access to, and uptake of both SRHR and gender-based violence (GBV) services for vulnerable populations, and promote social monitoring towards the advancement of integrated SRHR/GBV in the region. It will also provide timely and independent analysis and will serve as an advocacy platform for change of harmful social norms across the Caribbean.
We look forward to your participation! To that end, please see below the link to register in advance of the session, and the start time in different countries. The programme is also attached for your kind perusal:
