Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are critical components of the overall well-being and empowerment of Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW). At the National Movement of Adolescent Girls and Young Women, we recognize the importance of addressing the unique needs and challenge that AGYW face in relation to their sexual and reproductive health especially in the Grassroots and rural communities. Our interventions in the area of SRHR are designed to promote autonomy, informed decision-making, and access to essential services that enhance their health, rights, and life opportunities.
1. Comprehensive Sexuality Education and Information: Our programs focus on providing AGYW with comprehensive and age-appropriate sexuality education, accurate information about reproductive health, contraception, STIs, consent, and healthy relationships. By promoting open dialogue and knowledge-sharing, we empower AGYW to make informed choices about their bodies and health.
2. Access to Youth-Friendly Services: We advocate for youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services that are accessible, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive. Our efforts aim to ensure that AGYW have the necessary resources, information, and support to make decisions that are aligned with their needs and preferences.
3. Empowerment Through Rights-Based Approaches: We believe in upholding the sexual and reproductive rights of AGYW, including the right to autonomy, privacy, informed consent, and access to healthcare services. By promoting rights-based approaches, we empower AGYW to assert their rights, advocate for their needs, and navigate health systems with agency and dignity.
4. Capacity Building and Advocacy: Our programs include capacity-building initiatives, advocacy campaigns, and community engagement activities that aim to strengthen the advocacy skills and leadership potential of AGYW vis-vis their SRHR. By mobilizing AGYW to advocate for their rights and priorities, we amplify their voices and drive positive change at local, national, and global levels.
