| NEWSLETTER september 2024 | On 13 September 2024, SRHM published a podcast episode on rights- and evidence-based knowledge in legal action as part of an ongoing series on rights-based knowledge creation, a core component of SRHM's mission. In this discussion, Eszter Kismödi, Chief Executive of SRHM, spoke to three legal and SRHR experts: - Allan Maleche, Executive Director at Kenya Legal and Ethical Issues Network on HIV and AIDS (KELIN),
- Dipika Jain, Professor and Vice Dean at the Centre for Law, Justice, and Society at Jindal Law School, and
- Mindy Roseman, Director of the International Law Program, and Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women's Rights at Yale University.
The discussion centred around the role and importance of evidence for advancing SRHR action from a legal perspective and how evidence is used for legal action in regional and global contexts as well as creating international human rights standards.
This is an important and much-needed discussion that stems from a common understanding between the panellists on the importance and power of evidence-based knowledge, especially in turbulent political times when the SRHR movement is being met with anti-rights sentiments and backlash globally. To secure SRHR for people in all regional, local, and global spaces, there is a need to understand the challenges in each of these contexts. The speakers provide important insights on using evidence for legal action, based on their experiences and work in their respective contexts.
