‘The Spotlight’: A New Webinar Series from MSI

5 May 2020

Marie Stopes International (MSI) have recently launched ‘The Spotlight: the webinar series shining a light on all things sexual heath, gender and rights’, the rationale being that with the evolving pandemic impacting reproductive rights and frontline healthcare the world over, and many people now working at home, they believe that it is important to remain connected.

MSI say that “Given that many of the events that would have brought our communities together this year have been cancelled, we would like to continue some of these conversations. To support this dialogue, Marie Stopes International have launched a new webinar series – ‘The Spotlight’ – inviting partners from the sector and beyond to discuss key issues facing sexual and reproductive health, gender and rights.”

The series began on 8 April 2020 with the first webinar – ‘Delivering Access to Safe Abortion in the Time of COVID-19’ – sharing the potential impact of coronavirus on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), alongside strategies for ensuring that women can continue to access safe abortion services during the crisis; through telemedicine, pharmacies and government partnerships.
