The Spotlight: A new webinar series from Marie Stopes International

With the evolving pandemic impacting reproductive rights and frontline healthcare the world over, and many of us now working at home, it’s important to remain connected. 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 are launching 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.

Sharing stories and evidence from service delivery, our aim is to develop a space where we can come together to share practical, frontline solutions to increase access.

Our series will begin on Wednesday 8th April from 3:30-4:30pm BST with:

Delivering access to safe abortion in the time of COVID-19

Join Marie Stopes International and speakers from Safe Abortion Action Fund to hear about the potential impact of COVID-19 on SRHR and strategies to ensure women can continue to access safe abortion services during the crisis, through telemedicine, pharmacies and government partnerships.

Register for the webinar

Later Spotlight webinars will cover topics such as:

• Self-care revolution: putting contraception in the hands of women in the current crisis
• Nothing about us, without us: how can we centre marginalised women in programme design?

We will share recordings of each webinar on Marie Stopes International’s blog – stay tuned for future dates!
