Abstract
Abstract Unsafe abortion is a major contributor to maternal death and disability in humanitarian/ contexts, and women and girls are at considerable risk of experiencing forced marriage and sexual violence, as well as acquiring HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Routine, reliable and rigorously collected data on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in humanitarian settings are sparse globally irrespective of region or state of emergency. This problem is pronounced in politicized SRH issues such as abortion. This innovation has piloted a variety of strategies including data mapping, resource inventory, focus group/interviews, and other approaches to map challenges associated with collection and indicator development. Indicators have been developed, a toolkit with pre-programmed tablets to record information and detailed instructions for how to collect abortion information has been piloted, and a central database will be established to make SRHR data (particularly abortion and advocacy data) more widely available.
