The unit explores the cross-cutting nature of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in cornerstone areas of concern, e.g. gender-based violence, comprehensive sexuality education, reproductive justice and bodily integrity, HIV and AIDS, sexualities, with emerging areas of concerns, e.g. poverty, climate justice, food security, labour and migration and political and religious fundamentalisms. The archetypal actors representing key stakeholders in the role play, \u2018Who is responsible\u2019 are woman, business leader and the government.The role play was aimed at teasing out differentiated responsibilities of stakeholders within the gender-inclusive framework reflected in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are the bases of sustainable development that synergise not only climate justice but also gender justice (SDG 5). Conscientisation through the role-play enabled students to be cognisant of this synergy as they begin to recognise that the partnership of multi-sectoral interventions are needed precisely because men and women are differently and disproportionately affected by systemic gender inequalities and gender inequities. Theunit\u2019s learning objectives were also met as students were empowered not only to make informed and reflexive decisions on SRHR matters related to their own lives but also to understand broader implications of SRHR in terms of synergising local practices and global visions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the speaker<\/strong>:<br \/>\n**<br \/>\n*Sharon A.
