Millions of people around the world still lack access to high quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. This project aims to improve the comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of marginalised and underserved groups, particularly young women and adolescent girls in all their diversity in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and South Asia. The project provides services, training, and technical assistance in order to address harmful social norms and practices which will allow all people to make choices about their bodies and their lives. Project activities include: (1) health workers trained and mentored to provide quality SRH services; (2) technical assistance on youth-centred programming and comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) provided by CSE Centres of Excellence based in Colombia, Ghana and Togo (3) Federation members’ supported with advocacy tools, and safety and security plans to engage with intergovernmental advocacy on SRHR, safe abortion, CSE and gender equality.
