ARROWs For Change Vol. 13 No. 3: "Ground Realities: Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Conflict Situations

This bulletin issue, which features Sepali Kottegoda of the Women and Media Collective (Sri Lanka) as guest editor, explores the various dimensions of the impact of conflict on the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women in the Asia-Pacific region. It draws on diverse experiences of women across the Asia-Pacific and looks at the direct impact of conflict on womenโ€™s rights to expression and choice in their reproductive and sexual lives, as well as examines social and political attitudes and perspectives that have an indirect but often critical impact on womenโ€™s capacity to enjoy these rights.

Highlights of the bulletin include articles from Sepali Kottegoda, Basilica Dyah Putranti (Centre for Population and Policy Studies, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia), Eileen Pittaway (Centre for Refugee Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia), Tran Nguyen Toan (SPRINT Initiative, IPPF ESEAOR), Joeyta Bose (International Womenโ€™s Tribune Centre), Sreekala MG (North East Network, India), Kausar S. Khan (Dept. of Community Health Sciences, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan), Zelda DT Soriano (WGNRR), Kumudini Samuel (The Women and Media Collective, Sri Lanka) and Karen Campbell-Nelson (International Centre for Transitional Justice, ICTJ).
