Global WHO Consultation on the Sexual and Reproductive Health of Men and Adolescent Boys
Although the importance of men’s sexual and reproductive health is recognized within international policy frameworks, concrete actions often remain limited, with their involvement frequently viewed only through the lens of supporting their female partners. In reality, specific reproductive health issues among men and adolescents, ranging from infertility and sexually transmitted infections to andropause and reproductive tract cancers, show a high prevalence and are further compounded by a lack of dedicated services.
To address this gap, the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a rapid review at a global level concerning the availability and accessibility of services destined for men. In this context, the WHO IBP Network is organizing an online consultation to share the findings of this review and to identify the next critical steps to enhance service availability for men without compromising investments and gains in women’s sexual and reproductive health.
Non-governmental organizations from the Republic of Moldova working in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights are invited to participate in this event to contribute local perspectives and analyze evidence-based practices. The discussions will be held in English and will provide a dialogue platform for specialists, researchers, and advocates in the field.
Registration for the event can be completed through the WHO Zoom Platform.
