About

The Standing Committee on Reproductive Health, Equity, and Society is a group of experts of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that lead a cross-cutting initiative on equitable access to reproductive health. As part of the initiative, the standing committee organized webinars on reproductive health topics to increase awareness and promote dialogue.

This webinar, co-hosted with the Committee on Human Rights, examined concerns related to violence against health care professionals and health services providing reproductive care, and their patients, following the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. A panel of medical and human rights experts discussed longstanding concerns regarding harassment, threats, and physical attacks against health care professionals working to provide essential sexual and reproductive health care.
