Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Justice (SRJ)
In many African countries such as Zimbabwe, Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) continue to face challenges in exercising their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Several interrelated, interdependent and entrenched factors impede the realization of their health and rights. These factors include societal norms, attitudes, behaviors and relationships reinforced by religious and cultural structures and they are further exacerbated by legal, policy and economic barriers.
We are committed to developing a feminist innovative approach that addresses the multifaceted social, economic and political influences shaping individuals sexual and reproductive rights in Zimbabwe. Through the program we want to ensure that young womn enjoy their sexuality, make informed reproductive decisions and access high quality services that enhance their dignity, bodily integrity and wellbeing. The SRJ program aims to strengthen the leadership capacity of young womn and girls in the Sexual and Reproductive Justice movement.We strive to amplify voices and enhance the capabilities of young womn and girls in innovative and courageous ways.
