To launch World Sexual and Reproductive Health Month 2026, WHO's Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP) invites you to a flagship discussion exploring one central question: what does the science tell us about the role of sexual and reproductive health in overall health and well-being?  

Evidence to impact: the past, present and future of research and progress in sexual and reproductive health and rights

This interactive online event will brings together researchers, practitioners and public health experts to examine the evidence behind some of the most important advances in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), the challenges that prevent proven interventions from reaching people, and the research questions that will shape the future. The discussion will focus on what the evidence shows, where implementation is falling short, and what knowledge gaps still need to be addressed. 

Join us as we kick off World Sexual and Reproductive Health Month with a forward-looking discussion on the evidence, challenges and opportunities shaping the future of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
