Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM) is the only global organisation linked to a scientific, highly reputed journal in the field of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) that provides an independent voice, has a long-time, trusted reputation, and offers space to a truly global network of researchers, policy makers, programme managers, lawyers and activists in the field of SRH. Our mission is shaped by the understanding that rights- and evidence-based knowledge is power. SRHM’s ever-growing community of researchers, activists and other experts contributes to shift ideology and power-driven politics that are hostile to people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) towards human rights and social justice in SRHR policies and programmes. SRHM’s core tenet is that sound, evidence-based and rights-grounded knowledge is of critical importance to the decisions to be made and the actions to be taken to improve SRHR.
