ABSTRACT

Introduction: COVID-19 due to its global dimension and the strong changes it has generated in the dynamics of life has become a phenomenon with repercussions in all social contexts and in individual or collective psychology, to which sexual and reproductive health does not escape.
Objective: Make visible the real or potential problems that the current pandemic presupposes in the area of sexual and reproductive health, from a psychosocial approach.
Methods: A literature review was carried out from the electronic databases like Google Scholar, central PubMed, LILACS, BIREME, Regional SciELO, using as keywords "SARS-CoV-2" or "COVID-19" and "reproductive sexual health" or "gender violence". The information collected was synthesized in three fundamental themes: relationships, gender inequities and re-arrangement of services.
Conclusions: The current health crisis and the social distancing it imposes could have a negative impact on relationships or structures of gender domination, where women, girls and other vulnerable groups could be disadvantaged. On this topic, as in many others related to COVID-19, although more research is required, there are many issues that need to be addressed from a systemic perspective and with a timely prevention and containment approach. A collective and unprejudiced effort is needed for social, judicial, police and health support, which allows overcoming the current and future consequences of this pandemic in the attention to the problems of sexual and reproductive health.
