Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM), formerly Reproductive Health Matters (RHM),[1] is an organisation that promotes sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally. SRHM's mission[2] is to advance the creation and dissemination of sexual and reproductive health knowledge that is grounded in human rights and based on credible evidence, and to facilitate the transformation of such knowledge into action for improved SRHR. This mission is shaped by the understanding that rights- and evidence-based knowledge is power.

SRHM is the only global organisation linked to a scientific, highly reputed journal in the field of sexual and reproductive health that provides an independent voice, has a long-time, trusted reputation, and offers space to a truly global network of researchers, policy makers, programme managers, lawyers and activists in the field of sexual and reproductive health.

The SRHM journal, established in 1993,[3] is an open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal. Founding director and editor Marge Berer, led RHM (in 2019, Reproductive Health Matters changed its name to Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters[4]) since its inception until 2015 when she handed over responsibilities to Shirin Heidari. In 2018, Shirin handed over her responsibilities to Dr. Julia Hussein as editor-in-chief and Eszter Kismodi as chief executive. In 2020, after Julia announced her retirement, Dr. Emma Pitchforth took over the role of executive editor.
