Problem

Teen pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and HIV/AIDS take an alarming toll on people worldwide. One-fifth of illness and early death is due to poor sexual health, yet progress on preventing unwanted pregnancy is stalling, and the need for services is rising. As advocates contend with these issues, restrictions on reproductive rights are gaining momentum. To face these challenges, the field of sexual health needs reliable evidence, strategic advocacy and insightful policy analysis more than ever.
