Gender, Sexual and Reproductive Health – GSRH

Gender, sexual, and reproductive health (GSRH) is a cornerstone of global health and development, addressing critical issues such as maternal health, gender equality, family planning, and marginalized groups’ health. Despite progress, millions worldwide face barriers to comprehensive GSRH services, exacerbated by stigma, policy gaps, and systemic inequalities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Ensuring universal access to GSRH care is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and improving individual well-being, equity, and societal resilience.  

The GSRH option prepares leaders to tackle these challenges through interdisciplinary training in program design, advocacy, research, and policy development. Participants will gain expertise in addressing barriers to care, promoting gender-responsive and culturally sensitive approaches, and advancing solutions that empower communities. This option aims to equip graduates with the skills needed to drive equitable and sustainable improvements in GSRH, enhancing the health and rights of underserved populations globally.
