  • People, Planet, and Rights: Connecting Climate Action and SRHR
    May 15 2026

    In this episode, Laura Ferguson is joined by Angela Baschieri and Martina Yopo Diaz to discuss the critical links between climate change and sexual and reproductive health and rights.


    From disrupted reproductive healthcare and climate-related displacement to eco-anxiety and changing fertility decisions, the conversation highlights how the climate crisis is deeply affecting reproductive lives worldwide.


    The episode also explores gaps in global policy frameworks, the unfinished agenda of the ICPD Programme of Action, and why equity, human rights, and meaningful participation must remain at the centre of climate action.


    A thoughtful discussion on justice, sustainability, and the future of reproductive rights in a changing world.

  • Justice Beyond Jails: Rethinking Criminalisation, Accountability, and Responses to Gender-Based Violence
    Apr 24 2026

    What does justice look like beyond policing, prosecution, and prisons?

    In the latest SRHM Podcast, Eszter Kismődi speaks with Subha Wijesiriwardena and Susana T. Fried of Just Futures Collaborative about their new global campaign, Justice beyond Jails — an initiative rethinking responses to gender-based violence through rights-based, community-grounded approaches to safety and accountability.

    The episode explores the campaign’s innovative interactive storytelling tool, cross-movement collaborations, and why feminist and human rights movements are increasingly questioning criminalisation as the default response to violence.
