Details

While the concept of diversity is well recognised across the fields of sexual and reproductive health, it can mean different things in different contexts. In this session, speakers will be asked to speak about what diversity means and how it informs the work they do, spanning diverse and intersecting experiences of culture, indigeneity, ethnicity, generation, gender and sexuality. The session aims to build a shared understanding of the strengths that can be forged by drawing on and promoting diversity, and to also provide insights regarding how this might be achieved in practice, including in designing approaches to consultation and engagement, data collection and analysis, and resource development. Learning objectives: Increased understanding of how the concept of diversity is conceptualised and deployed across different areas of sexual and reproductive health ; Improved sensitivity to the complexities of diversity and the various intersections between diversities and Expanded awareness of how diversity can meaningfully inform effective practices in sexual and reproductive health promotion
