Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights
Ensuring girls and young women with disabilities have access to SRHR information, services, and rights — with dignity and respect.
Health, Rights & Dignity for Every Girl
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are fundamental to the well-being and empowerment of every girl and young woman. Girls and young women with disabilities face unique and compounded barriers to accessing SRHR information and services — including inaccessible health facilities, provider ignorance, stigma, and the false assumption that they are not sexually active.
Our SRHR program delivers inclusive, rights-based health education and services that are adapted for girls and young women with different disabilities. We provide information, referrals, community health sessions, and advocacy to ensure every girl can make informed decisions about her own body and health.
We also work to challenge the stigma and harmful norms that deny girls with disabilities their sexual and reproductive rights.
SRHR Program Components
Health Education
Community-based SRHR education covering reproductive anatomy, menstrual health, contraception, STI prevention, and safe pregnancy.
Mobile Health Clinics
Free mobile health clinics bringing SRHR services directly to girls and young women with disabilities in their communities.
Referral Pathways
We establish and maintain referral links to health facilities, ensuring our participants can access specialist SRHR care when needed.
GBV & Safe Relationships
Workshops on recognising and responding to gender-based violence, understanding consent, and building safe, healthy relationships.
Menstrual Health
Provision of menstrual hygiene products and education to girls who cannot access or afford them, supporting school retention.
Policy Advocacy
We advocate with health authorities and county governments to make SRHR services more accessible, inclusive, and disability-responsive.
SRHR Is a Human Right
When girls and young women with disabilities can access SRHR information and services, they are better equipped to protect their health, pursue education and economic opportunity, and live with dignity. SRHR is not a separate issue — it is deeply connected to every aspect of a girl’s life and potential.
“I didn’t know I had rights when it came to my own health. FGWN’s sessions taught me that my body belongs to me — and that I can ask for accessible health care. That changed everything.”
