Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
Policy Resources: SRHR, Adolescent Health and Universal Health Coverage
We take a rights-based approach to all health-related areas, including healthcare, water and sanitation, and sexual and reproductive health services and rights (SRHR), that are based on international human rights frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our work goes beyond health needs. It addresses the underlying causes and structural drivers that hinder the realisation of sexual and reproductive rights and the right to health – such as child marriage, gender-based violence, barriers to education, stigma and discrimination.
We work with partners such as Astra Zeneca and are a part of a number of networks, including Action for Global Health. Together, we aim to achieve the biggest impact for girls and young people by advocating for the prioritisation of young people’s health, universal health coverage and strengthening health systems.
Power to Decide
Accelerating Adolescent Girls’ Access to sexual and reproductive health and rights
Every day, adolescent girls are making decisions about their lives and futures. These decisions are shaped by a wide range of complex and interlinked factors and impact everything from where they go, who they talk to and what goals they set for themselves to whether they have sex, when and with whom.
Centring girls’ agency and decision making, our report examines what changes are needed to make progress for adolescent girls’ sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Noncommunicable Disease Prevention and Adolescents
Although 35% of the global burden of disease has its origins in adolescence, young people have largely been overlooked in global discussion on the prevention of noncommunicable disease.
In this report we outline the need to urgently tackle the drivers of ill-health that are established in childhood and adolescence, including tobacco and alcohol use, unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyle.
