HRP annual report 2021

Overview

For 50 years, HRP has been conducting research with international and national partners to improve sexual and reproductive health and to safeguard the human rights of all people everywhere. We invite you to join us in our efforts – with your help, we can continue to improve lives worldwide.

HRP is based at the World Health Organization (WHO) headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, within the Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research. We work collaboratively with partners across the world to shape global thinking on sexual and reproductive health and rights by providing new ideas and insights.

We support high-impact research, inform WHO norms and standards, support research capacity strengthening in low-income settings, and facilitate uptake of innovations and new information – including through digital and mobile technologies. An ethical, human-rights-based approach is integrated throughout our work. HRP’s vision is the attainment of the highest possible level of sexual and reproductive health for every single person across the globe. We strive for a world where human rights that enable sexual and reproductive health are safeguarded, and where all people have access to quality sexual and reproductive health information and services.
