Home > Events > Exploring the Impact of Reproductive Coercion on Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes

The IGWG organizes regular in-person and virtual events where members from around the world can learn from and connect with each other. These events may be thematic, such as a focus on recent research in the GBV field, or dedicated to capacity building, like how to use film for social and behavior change communication. Our annual IGWG Plenary creates space for members to meet in person and provide feedback on the network as a whole each year.

Presentations and recordings of IGWG events are available online so you can find past events you missed or want to revisit. The presentation materials are also available.

Exploring the Impact of Reproductive Coercion on Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes

Why

  • Explain how reproductive coercion is a form of gender-based violence (GBV).
  • Highlight the impact of reproductive coercion on sexual and reproductive health (SRH), particularly family planning and GBV outcomes, and explore reproductive coercion in the context of intimate partner violence and domestic violence.
  • Learn directly from practitioners who have successfully incorporated interventions addressing reproductive coercion in their work on SRH, family planning, and GBV.
  • Provide IGWG members with the opportunity to explore and identify possible entry points for integrating approaches to address reproductive coercion into existing and future programming and advocacy efforts.

Reproductive coercion is a form of gender-based violence (GBV) and refers to a range of behaviors that interfere with autonomous decision-making related to contraception and pregnancy. It negatively impacts an individual’s reproductive health and autonomy. Several studies have linked reproductive coercion to intimate partner violence (IPV), unintended pregnancies, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and poor mental health.

The Interagency Gender Working Group’s (IGWG) GBV Task Force will host an event on Wednesday, August 31 from 8:00-10:00 a.m. EDT focused on exploring the connections between reproductive coercion in the context of intimate and household relationships, IPV, and domestic violence, as well as highlighting reproductive coercion’s impacts on sexual and reproductive health (SRH), particularly family planning and GBV outcomes.

The event will serve as a forum for stakeholder dialogue and will highlight examples of program and advocacy approaches addressing reproductive coercion that have been successfully integrated into SRH programs, particularly family planning and GBV. It will also share considerations for funders, particularly around the roles they can play to strengthen commitments to prioritize and address reproductive coercion.

This GBV Task Force event will begin with a presentation providing an overview on the key elements and examples of reproductive coercion, as well as new findings and trends. A panel of expert implementers and researchers will then share key findings and promising practices from and challenges encountered in their programs. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session where attendees will have the opportunity to pose questions to speakers.

We look forward to seeing you there!
