This webinar is held as a part of the Streaming IAWG 2020: Webinar Series on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in the Humanitarian-Development Nexus. This webinar series features panels that were planned for the IAWG meeting, originally scheduled for February 2020 in Bangkok. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this in-person meeting was canceled. These digital webinars share the panels in support of this year’s intended theme: Bridging the Divide: Operationalizing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in the Nexus, which asked presenters to share findings and lessons learned from working on sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) at the intersections of the humanitarian, development and peace sectors.
