On 22-24 November 2022, ANSER members and strategic partners UNFPA Eastern Europe and Central Asia Regional Office (UNFPA EECARO) and the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF) met physically after three years of virtual meetings.

During the three-day meeting, 64 participants from 15 countries came together to discuss the data needs around SRHR and future actions as a network to tackle them. The group reflected on a range of topics related to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), such as effective SRHR evidence translation to policy, age of consent and access to contraceptives, climate & SRHR and how to tackle opposition to comprehensive sexual education, to name some.

These discussions inspired participants and gave focus to planned actions and collaborations within the network for the upcoming year.
