ABSTRACT
[...]emerging digital technologies have provided immense opportunities for Africa to tackle gendered inequities in public health and to advance SRHR, but they have also elevated the risks for gender-based violence (GBV) for some population groups and launched new vistas of audacious campaigns and attacks against reproductive rights, gender equality, and sexual and gender minorities in the region. There is no better home for these papers than the African Journal of Reproductive Health (AJRH): Africa's leading outlet for robust research and evidence on public health matters and, increasingly, the go-to source on actionable SRHR evidence for policy actors in the region. [...]together, they serve the growing readership of the AJRH an exciting and nuanced menu of new evidence on issues ranging from the sexual rights of the region's elderly women and the challenges of delivering quality sexuality education to the continent's young people;through insights on an innovative SRHR research capacity program and on the challenges of SRHR in humanitarian contexts;to studies on marriage, health providers' attitudes, reproductive dynamics and outcomes, female genital mutilation, gender attitudes and the SRHR impacts of COVID-19. Comprising social scientists, economists, public health specialists, and demographers, all of whom are experts in gender, ICRW works to identify women's contributions as well as the obstacles that block them from being economically strong and able to fully participate in society.
