RH Reality Check

Issue Area: Women & Population

Reproductive Health Reality Check, a UN Foundation blog, was launched in 2006 to harness the power of new media to offer a reality check on the misconceptions about reproductive health. RH Reality Check’s rebuttal arsenal against the “reckless rhetoric” used by opponents of reproductive rights includes original reporting and opinion offered daily by in-house bloggers and the broader reproductive health community, longer-form weekly series, video and audio podcasts, and reference areas offering invaluable background on this important issue.
