This is the 14th edition of the SADC Gender Protocol Barometer and the fifth to focus specifically on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). It is the third #VoicandChoice Barometer launched in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, several and other global crises add to the vulnerabilities. These include the war in Ukraine, food and fuel shortages and climate change. Now more than ever we need to protect the fragile gains made for women’s rights.
