Between Borders and Silence: Reproductive violence, gender inequality and the global struggle for sexual and reproductive health and rights
This paper examines reproductive violence as a global SRHR and gender-equality issue. It explores how violence, coercion and structural barriers can restrict reproductive decision-making at interpersonal, community, institutional and societal levels, with particular attention to evidence from the Middle East and North Africa, including Egypt.
Rather than treating migration, conflict or displacement as isolated causes of vulnerability, this research examines how these conditions interact with gender inequality, economic insecurity, health-system barriers and unequal power to shape women’s reproductive autonomy.
The future is ours to build. Together.
