The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated the need to collect most up to date and evidence-based information on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), that can help governments and others to respond to the challenging and emerging situation. However, ethical considerations in SRHR research, such as setting priorities, respecting confidentiality, privacy, informed consent, being inclusive of marginalised populations, cannot be sidelined. To deliberate on the shared understanding of ethical practices in SRHR research, this session of the ethics dialogues series brought together diverse expertise from the field to share their experiences and provoke a critical conversation.

Held on 14 September, 2020, this session was jointly organised by CORE Net (https://corenet.in/) and SRHM.
