2017 EURONGOS CONFERENCE<br />
<br />
Brussels, 27-28 September 2017. The 2017 EuroNGOs Conference "Re:Frame. Promoting SRHR in a time of growing populism"will take place in Brussels, Belgium, 27-28 September. This two-day gathering will challenge thinking and stimulate debate around the rise of populism, its impact on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights issues and how to respond to this changing contexT.<br />
<br />
Rising support for populist movements, echoed through examples such as Brexit in the UK, rhetoric used in Hungary and Poland, the success of far-right parties from Germany to Greece, and Trump in the USA, is reshaping the politics of many Western societies. For the SRHR community this global political shift is particularly worrying. <br />
The conference will be designed as a two-day dialogue, with parallel thematic tracks between which participants can navigate and choose according to interest and priorities.<br />
<br />
RE POLITICISE: What is the political impact of the rise of populism on our democratic space and SRHR issues, domestically and internationally, also looking at the political effects of the Global Gag Rule in the Global North and South? How do we re-politicise SRHR, within and beyond UN processes, and how can we re-frame our messages in this new political landscape? <br />
RE GENERATE: What are the implications of this new political context on ODA and funding for SRHR, and what is the impact of the Global Gag Rule, in particular in the Global South? <br />
RE CONNECT: How do we reconnect with the grassroots and our citizen base? What can we learn from the rising populistic movements, rhetoric and their voters, and the growing Euroscepticism? <br />
RE VIEW: Taking into account the shifting political landscape, how we use Agenda 2030 follow-up and review to mitigate this back-lash and highlight the importance of SRHR? What lessons can we learn from the National Voluntary Reviews and High Level Political Forum in terms of evidence and progress on SRHR under SDGs 3 and 5 , how these were reported on, and where do we go from here? <br />
RE PRESENT: What we are doing as a community in promoting and implementing SRHR within the SDGs at implementation and programming level? In times of alternative facts, what evidence, good practices and data do we have from our work on the ground, in our own countries and from the global South, and how do we present this as part of the monitoring and reporting on the SDGs through the different channels? <br />
<br />
<br />
Both the conference and the workshop are great opportunities for capacity building. The workshops diliberately focus on capacity building. The conference is a mixture of information sharing, networking and capacity building.<br />
The workshop that will be organised in the fall will bema follow up to Last years workshop on SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS IN HUMANITARIAN RESPONSES<br />
In association with IPPF European Network and Countdown 2030 Europe, EuroNGOs brought together 22 participants from member organisations to enhance our knowledge and capacity on the SRHR in humanitarian responses, and exchange concrete ideas on how to use this in our (joint) advocacy and policy work in Europe and beyond, and on potential collaboration with important players in the humanitarian sector. <br />
<br />
