Material Detail

Sexual and Reproductive Health in Humanitarian Crises is a free open-access learning resource covering the key sexual and reproductive health priorities in emergencies and conflict settings. It addresses the normative frameworks that guide the humanitarian response -- including the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) -- as well as gender-based violence, contraception, emergency obstetric and neonatal care, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, safe abortion, and menstrual health and hygiene.

The resource examines both the core priorities identified by the MISP and the sexual and reproductive health needs that have historically been overlooked in humanitarian action, exploring the political, ideological and cultural barriers that have delayed their recognition. It includes seven pages, AI-assisted reflection exercises on each page, and an integrated case study. Designed for humanitarian health practitioners, public health students, and capacity-building facilitators, it draws on current WHO, UNFPA, and inter-agency frameworks, guidelines, and relevant scientific evidence.

Available in English and Spanish at no cost.
