SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS

SRHR, which stands for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, is one of our thematic areas that encompasses various aspects related to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of individuals in relation to their sexual and reproductive lives. It includes a range of issues such as family planning, safe and legal abortion, contraception, maternal health, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, and comprehensive sexuality education.

We advocate for the core principle behind SRHR is the recognition that individuals have the right to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive lives, free from discrimination, coercion, and violence. We emphasize the importance of access to accurate sexual health information, quality healthcare services, and the promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment.

Within the thematic area of SRHR, different components are addressed to ensure comprehensive and holistic support to individuals. This includes advocating for policies and laws that safeguard sexual and reproductive rights, promoting access to contraceptive methods and family planning services, preventing and addressing gender-based violence, ensuring safe and legal abortion services, supporting the rights and health of adolescents and youth, and addressing the specific needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations.

The SRHR thematic area recognizes that sexual and reproductive health is not only a matter of physical well-being but also interconnected with social and economic factors. It highlights the importance of addressing inequalities, promoting inclusive healthcare, and ensuring that no one is left behind, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

Overall, Sustainable Jamii aims to advocate for the fundamental human rights of individuals to have control over their bodies and to make decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive lives, leading to healthier and more fulfilling lives for all.


1. Access to SRHR for the Youth

Sustainable Jamii is working towards ensuring continuity of access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) among the youth.

Sustainable Jamii has adopted a multidimensional approach that addresses the socio-cultural, economic, and systemic factors that affect youth access to SRHR. The youth vulnerabilities have cost them a lot and we have grasped ideas in which we can join hands and ensure a better tomorrow for the youth.

Mental health among youth is a growing concern. Many face stressors like academic pressure, social media, and peer expectations, leading to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Stigma often discourages seeking help, exacerbating these issues. It's crucial to prioritize mental health awareness, provide accessible resources, and encourage open conversations. Early intervention and support can prevent long-term consequences and empower young individuals to lead emotionally healthy lives. By acknowledging and addressing the mental health needs of youth, we can foster resilience, emotional well-being, and brighter futures for the next generation. We provide a safe space for the youth to talk freely without bias and occasionally have nature walks to help connect mental health to nature.
