We are delighted to launch this special edition podcast episode, created in collaboration with the Irish Global Health Network (IGHN). The episode delves into insights gained from UNFPA’s 2024 State of World Population report, Interwoven Lives, Threads of Hope: Ending inequalities in sexual and reproductive health and rights.
IGHN’s Executive Director, Nadine Ferris France, sits down with UNFPA’s Principal Advisor for International Development Finance, Jacqueline Mahon, to discuss the report’s key findings and its implications for global efforts to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
From discussing the urgent need to address inequalities in SRHR to reflecting on the significance of this year as we mark 30 years since the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), Jacqueline sheds light on the interconnected challenges and opportunities shaping the future of SRHR.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the status of SRHR globally and how we can work together to create a more just and equitable future for all.
You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify or Youtube.
