Invitation to participate in a FIGO survey
The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Committee on Human Rights, Refugees and Violence Against Women is undertaking a project on the content of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in medical university curricula around the world. As such, we are sending out a simple survey to map which components of SRHR are formally included in your undergraduate medical curricula.
As chair of the Committee, I invite you to participate in the survey and answer these questions to the best of your knowledge, the results of which will be used for research.
Your answers will be anonymous and cannot be traced back to your university or to you personally. We do not wish to test the quality of your curriculum but only to look at the extent to which these concepts are taught around the world. We deeply appreciate your contribution to research on women´s health and rights.
You can access the survey by clicking this link FIGO survey on SRHR / encuesta sobre el DSSR
Sincerely,
Professor Kristina Gemzell Danielsson
Chair of the FIGO Committee on Human Rights, Refugees and Violence Against Women

2020 FIAPAC Conference postponed
28 July 2020
Dear colleagues and friends,
We hope you are doing well and staying safe.
Turbulent times, brought on by COVID-19, had a significant impact on our personal and professional life. We have missed opportunities to touch base with you on what is going on in FIAPAC.
Over the past few months, the Executive Committee and the Board discussed through a series of online meetings on how to deal with the practical consequences of the pandemic on our day-to-day management of FIAPAC on short and longer term.
This resulted in the following decisions – feel free to comment:
- To postpone the FIAPAC Conference (due to take place in Berlin from 2 to 3 October 2020) untill further notice.
- We still try to identify the best alternative dates for the rescheduled Conference and will share those dates with you as soon as possible.
- We are considering to move to early/spring 2022 to remain ‘at the safe side’. Also, quite a few organisations have already planned their postponed conferences for autumn 2021 which leads to an overloaded calendar of events.
- To postpone the General Assembly until the rescheduled FIAPAC conference ( date to be decided).
- The current Executive Committee to continue in a caretaking capacity until the next conference.
- The current Board to continue until next congress (also in care taking capacity).
- Board elections will be organised about 2 months before the next conference.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best wishes,
Sharon Cameron, President
Nausikaä Martens, Secretary
