Self-Care Interventions in SRHR: Power In Your Hands

The recent release of the World Health Organization’s consolidated guidelines on self-care interventions for health on sexual and reproductive health and rights was a pivotal moment for the SRHR community. This interactive session will address why self-care interventions for SRHR matter to individuals and countries, and what we can do together to empower people, cultivate strong political and financial will, and build an effective and accountable health system for self-care. Participants will also discuss the challenges and opportunities for self-care to take hold as an integral component of health systems and as a critical pathway to achieving universal health coverage, which can move the needle on lifting the next generation out of poverty. This session will be convened by Population Services International, the International Youth Alliance for FP (IYAFP) and the White Ribbon Alliance.
