Description
Summary:In June 2022, the African Journal of Reproductive Health (AJRH) will be celebrating the 26th year of its founding. Originally designed to publish innovative research and documentations relating to sexual and reproductive health and rights in and about Africa, the journal now plays a dominant role in scientific discourses around rights and social justice relevant to international development planning in the fields of population and women’s health. Within the short period of its establishment, the journal recorded several successes in many domains. It was the first international journal that documented events, research, and programming in reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa at the emergence of the “paradigm shift’ and the new reproductive health doctrine. Following the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt in 1994, and the fourth World Conference in Beijing, China in 1995, it was evident that the African continent was the tailback of the rights and social justice denial that dominated the discourse in both conferences.
