ICRH celebrated its 20th anniversary on 4 and 5 December with a well-attended international conference on ‘Sexual and reproductive health and rights today and tomorrow’.
During these two days, some 250 scholars, experts and colleagues gathered to consider the state of the art in some of our main fields of activity, and to discuss the remaining challenges and the ways forward.
The conference consisted of six symposia: Adolescent sexual and reproductive health and well-being; HPV, related diseases and vaccination; Female genital mutilation; Forced marriages; Maternal health; and behavioural change interventions. This yielded in new ideas and insights that will inspire and inform our future work and will undoubtedly also lead to new partnerships.
At the end of the conference, a celebration event took place in the presence of the Belgian minister of development cooperation, the Belgian secretary of state for science policy and numerous colleagues and friends of ICRH. At this event, the new ICRH research strategy for the coming years was presented.
