<p dir="ltr">The SRJ Scotland project consists of a series of focused partnership- and idea-generation<br>activities designed to support development of an innovative sexual and reproductive health<br>(SRH) policy and research agenda in Scotland, informed by a reproductive justice (RJ)<br>framework.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">The project, which began in early 2024, capitalises on a diversity of existing relationships,<br>bringing together interdisciplinary and cross-sector partners in an innovative way, to<br>explore opportunities to address key SRH policy gaps. Taking abortion and contraception as<br>an initial focus (concentrating on key concerns in the Scottish context), this work is<br>intended to generate early-stage proposals for collaborative research plans, and form<br>building blocks for a broader programme of work around SRH justice within Scotland and<br>across the UK. Aligning with current policy concerns, the project will support new<br>developments to address urgent issues in contemporary policy and practice.</p>
