The report addresses the sexual and reproductive health needs and challenges faced by adolescent and adult women in situations of displacement in Central America, with a specific focus on El Salvador and Honduras. It highlights the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the relationship between displacement and health vulnerabilities. Targeted at policymakers in migration, the document provides key data and recommendations derived from the ReGHID survey, conducted in collaboration with IOM and the University of Southampton. Recommendations focus on data generation, addressing priority issues, and collaboration between IOM and SICA. The ReGHID project promotes a rights-based public health approach, evaluating health policies implemented in various countries and proposing a conceptual framework for equity in development that emphasizes the responsibility to ensure human rights, including sexual rights.
