The UNFPA Humanitarian Action 2021 Overview highlights the needs and rights of women and adolescent girls in emergencies, which are often overlooked.

AlignMNH: Collective Action for Maternal Newborn Health builds on decades of work across the MNH community and seeks to complement and amplify existing efforts. By convening stakeholders in a regular and predictable manner and building a knowledge exchange platform upon which these stakeholders can share learning, experiences and evidence, AlignMNH aims to support countries in realizing their MNH goals. As part of our iterative design process, we invite members of the IAWG Online Group to complete a brief and anonymous survey on technical and design considerations for the AlignMNH knowledge hub.
The compendium outlines and rates emerging interventions in refugee settings carried out prior to COVID-19, and during the pandemic in the context of community-based protection.

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted the continuation of maternal and newborn health services and surveillance in low-and-middle-income countries. In addition to the increased risk that pregnant women face from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, secondary effects of the pandemic have increased barriers to care and reduced care seeking behaviors due to concerns about COVID-19. In order to contribute to reductions in maternal and newborn mortality from diseases, including COVID-19, pregnancy surveillance information must be captured and used to formulate actionable responses that will be integrated into routine MNH service provision. These guidelines aim to strengthen an integrated services and surveillance system for COVID-19, with the ultimate goal of supporting women and newborns throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Guidelines aim to facilitate cohesion in care between the community and health facility levels and support standardized COVID-19 referral processes.
The purpose of the toolkit is to bring together existing learning and guidance as a starting point for stakeholders to begin SRH preparedness work. Within the SRH sector the field of preparedness is relatively new and growing. More collective effort is required to further evaluate the impact of preparedness efforts and push the field forward. This effort is a first attempt at synthesizing draft guidance for SRH preparedness, and is intended for field testing. The toolkit recognizes the longstanding work of the field of emergency and disaster risk management, and endeavors to bridge that work with the human rights-oriented and people-centered field of sexual and reproductive health.
Cette vidéo est le lancement mondial de Prêts à sauver des vies : un référentiel de préparation à la santé sexuelle et reproductive dans des situations d’urgence. Inspiré par les leçons tirées de plusieurs pays et contextes, ce guide a été développé pour aider à guider les décideurs et autres parties prenantes qui souhaitent garantir la fourniture de services de santé sexuelle et reproductive appropriés et de qualité dès le début d'une situation d'urgence. Le référentiel a été développé par Jennifer Schlecht, conseillère humanitaire du FP2020 jusqu'à son décès il y a tout juste un an.

The publication, Medical Abortion and Self-Managed Abortion: Frequently Asked Questions on Health and Human Rights, issued by the Center for Reproductive Rights and Ipas in December, is now available in French and Spanish.
This evaluation of our activities enabled us to identify several barriers to access to sexual and reproductive healthcare regularly faced by our patients. In addition to administrative and language issues, we noted that the traditional health care system lacks tools, measures, and mechanisms adapted to these women’s vulnerabilities and attentive to the socio-cultural challenges inherent to our different life contexts. Therefore, this analysis proposes for each of the above-mentioned themes (1) "toolboxes" containing measures that can be easily implemented by the various sexual and reproductive health actors, (2) operational recommendations for precariousness stakeholders, and (3) general conclusions addressing political decision-makers on the measures to be taken so that every woman, regardless of her income or administrative status, can access free and accessible information and health services adapted to their sexual and reproductive health needs.
