Key content Reproductive health ( RH ) outcomes worsen during conflict and displacement, the causes of which are considered multi‐factorial. In conflict and displacement settings, there are unique challenges in providing emergency obstetric care. There has been increased recognition of the need to provide adequate RH in emergency responses. Providing appropriate assistance to populations affected by conflict requires continued monitoring and evaluation, and the further development of life‐saving interventions. Learning objectives To understand the effect of conflict on RH . To discuss the reasons why RH outcomes worsen during conflict and displacement. To consider the ways in which responses can be made during an emergency. Ethical issues Should RH be considered a priority during an emergency response to conflict and disasters? Does offering RH assistance to conflict‐affected populations put other local groups at a disadvantage? Will greater knowledge of how conflict and displacement affect RH help in understanding and treating refugees and asylum seekers in the UK ?
