| Name | Reproductive Health of Refugees and Displaced Populations |
| Description | The Reproductive Health for Refugees Consortium’s Research Conference 2000: Findings on Reproductive Health of Refugees and Displaced Populations was convened as a forum for service providers, researchers, policy makers and donors to share program findings garnered over the last several years. These data must now be used to improve ongoing programs and initiate new ones. Increasing coverage of comprehensive reproductive health services is critical. Agencies questioning the need for reproductive health services can consult the findings presented concerning the heightened risk of refugees* for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV, and sexual and gender-based violence, their poor pregnancy outcomes, and their expressed desire for reproductive health services. Projects should be carefully planned, adapting interventions that have proven to work elsewhere. When new interventions are tested, planners must ensure that there is a strong evidence-based likelihood of success. The following three needs are especially crucial to the ability of a war-impacted society to rebuild and flourish: 1) address the reproductive health needs of adolescents specifically; 2) stop HIV transmission; and 3) embark on a multi-sectoral offensive against sexual and gender-based violence. |
