ANSER publication 'Pioneering Change: ANSER’s Impact on Linking Research and Policy in Sexual and Reproductive Health'
The paper published in the FORUM Sex Education and Family Planning by the Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) underscores ANSER's groundbreaking contributions to the field of sexual and reproductive health. By successfully linking research and policy, ANSER has paved the way for a more evidence-informed approach to sexual and reproductive health policies worldwide. The combination of accessible research findings, increased stakeholder interaction, enhanced research receptivity in policy agencies, and incentives for collaboration marks ANSER's pioneering impact. Explore the full articlehere to gain deeper insights into how ANSER is spearheading positive change by fostering collaboration, disseminating knowledge, and influencing the landscape of sexual and reproductive health policies on a global scale.
Podcasts
ANSER was highlighted as best practice in the podcast series of Ghent University's Department of Public Health and Primary Care '39, Reach Out!' about 'Where science meets politics'.
Knowledge clip on medicalization of female genital mutilation/cutting
That the practice of FGM is increasingly being performed by trained health professionals, is one of the major trends in FGM/C today. The video gives a good insight in what FGM/C and medicalization of FGM/C is exactly. To showcase the complexity of medicalization of FGM/C the video gives practical examples of ongoing debates around the issue. At the end, the speakers list a set of clear recommendations for policy makers on how to take action. With this video ANSER wants to raise awareness among all stakeholders involved in FGM/C, especially policy makers, and encourage them to make evidence based decisions.
Knowledge clip on the intersection of climate change and SRHR
Discover the intersection between climate change and sexual and reproductive health. Through the stories of Chioma, Dimitri, and Nyasha, we witness how climate disruptions impact lives worldwide. Chioma's HIV treatment is disrupted by floods, highlighting the need for disaster plans that protect reproductive health. Dimitri's story shows how extreme weather fuels gender-based violence, and finally, the preterm birth of Nyasha’s baby due to heat exposure raises concerns about maternal and child health. In the face of this global challenge, "Empowering Change" calls on policymakers to take immediate action by investing in disaster preparedness, educating communities, and supporting research initiatives. Climate change affects us all, and by addressing its impact on sexual and reproductive health and rights, we can build a more equitable and resilient future for everyone.
Knowledge clip on ANSER - Academic Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Policy
Discover how ANSER, as an international academic network, is at the forefront of shaping evidence-based policies for global sexual and reproductive health. Through education, research, and societal outreach, ANSER serves as a crucial link between researchers and policymakers, focusing on key areas such as maternal health, family planning, and gender rights. By facilitating increased interaction between policymakers and researchers, ANSER ensures that research outcomes align with policy priorities, thereby fostering mutual understanding and trust. As we look ahead, ANSER remains committed to driving sustainable change by bringing together academics and stakeholders, setting an example for effective knowledge translation and policy implementation in sexual and reproductive health and rights.
