Title "Engaging Men and Boys in Sexual and Reproductive Health and
Rights (SRHR) & Gender Equality: Why and How?"
Abstract Investing in programming and policies to enhance SRHR of women
and girls - in areas such as access to family planning, reducing
child marriage and preventing violence is well understood.
Less well researched, however, is the roles of men and boys.
In this seminar, Prof. Lohan will report on her research conducted
for the WHO examining why this is important and what is the status
of the global research.
She will also report on how SRHR programming can be implemented
with men and boys, including the Jack trial - the largest randomised
trial of school sex education to-date and the first to test boys'
engagement.
Speaker Maria Lohan (Specially Appointed Professor, HIAS / Professor, Queen's
