On the 23rd of February, the Share-Net Netherlands’ Community of Practice working on Engaging boys and men organised an online meeting on the topic of Men’s SRHR discussing their new position paper exploring SRHR policies and services targeting men and boys. This paper argues that men and boys have their own sexual and reproductive health issues and concerns.

This webinar presented a next step to share the findings with Share-Net members and to engage with them on this important issue. The overall objective of the webinar was to encourage Share-Net International members to more explore and address men’s and boy’s SRHR issues. Specific objectives were to:

• Increase SNNL and SNI members’ awareness and knowledge of men’s SRHR;
• Share international good practices on addressing men’s SRHR needs;
• Explore if and how SNI member consider including men’s SRHR issues in their work.
