Venezuelan migrants arrive in the country with multiple unmet Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) needs. The profile of the Venezuelan migrant in Colombia is of men and women, particularly young adults and adults between 18 and 59 years old. Existing SRH needs have been exacerbated by this regional crisis. Despite the capacity of Colombian institutions, this does not translate into effective and timely access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for these women and men. To guarantee access, resources are needed, as well as the elimination of barriers for the migrant population. In this sense, communication strategies are needed to attack misinformation about SRH in migration contexts. There are large inequalities between irregular and circular migrants compared to regular migrants and those in the process of regularization. Responses and interventions in SRH must be targeted to take into account the migrant population’s circumstance and meet their needs.

HIV prevention and treatment are key components of a comprehensive SRH service package. Unfortunately, in humanitarian contexts worldwide, HIV services are historically under-prioritized, often at the expense of already marginalized populations. In this webinar, we begin understanding some of the ways the humanitarian community can integrate HIV prevention and treatment services into existing SRH services, especially those supporting marginalized populations. This panel featured speakers from Bangladesh, Tanzania, and Uganda, and include discussions on the health and protection needs of refugees involved in selling sex, the outcomes of prevention of mother to child transmission intervention in a post-emergency refugee context, partner testing in a refugee setting, and adolescent SRH stigma and HIV testing among urban and displaced youth.
Innovation has never seemed so important as it has this year. In this webinar, panelists will describe their innovative work pre-pandemic as they were forced to adapt interventions to the unique circumstances of the remote and difficult humanitarian settings where they work. They will present on their use of technology solutions to improve psychosocial support for humanitarian staff, monitoring and reporting using a call center in South Sudan, a mobile app for improving maternal delivery and the skills of health workers facing newborn emergencies.
