International ANSER Conference 2026 on sexual and reproductive health and rights policy
In a time of growing global instability, from climate-related disasters to political polarisation and humanitarian crises, the urgency to protect and promote Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) has never been greater.
The ANSER 2026 Conference brings together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, CSO representatives and private sector actors to foster collaborative action toward safeguarding SRHR as a policy priority.
The conference will feature two Scientific Days and a dedicated Policy Impact Day, where we aim to bring together high-level decision-makers, researchers, and advocates to explore how evidence can shape SRHR policy and implementation globally.
Conference themes:
- SRHR in humanitarian and climate-related crises
- Narratives, power dynamics and the politics of SRHR
- Integration of SRHR in primary care and health systems
