How, where & when could sexual & #ReproductiveCoercion increase within contexts of #PublicHealth Emergency? This week I’m collating info for policy makers & sexual & reproductive health clinics. I’ll drop links in this #thread. Pls add or PM your links/articles/evidence/thoughts.
There are recent publications on the increasing risk of family and domestic violence. Perhaps could also draw relevant links to reproductive coercion at contexts of environmental disaster, conflict and re/colonisation. Evidence from anywhere in the world is welcome. #ReadingFest
