The Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) program is dedicated to advancing Comprehensive Sexuality Education, aiming to raise awareness of SRHR among adolescents and the wider community. At HPO, we promote access to accurate and reliable information on SRHR, family planning, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), gender promotion, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV.
Our program specifically targets adolescents, young adults, and parents, seeking to alleviate their fears and misconceptions by fostering open and honest discussions on SRHR, GBV, and gender promotion. One of our innovative approaches includes the Ishema Ryanjye card game under the Ishema Ryanjye Project, which, along with other SRHR-related initiatives, facilitates these crucial conversations.
What We Do
Through strategic initiatives and educational activities, the SRHR program strives to create an informed and empowered community, where individuals are equipped with the knowledge and resources, they need to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
The SRHR program is dedicated to raising awareness and promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) through a variety of strategic approaches:
- Community Engagement: We conduct community outreaches, workshops, and campaigns to enhance awareness of SRHR, ensuring that vital information reaches those who need it most.
- Capacity Building: Through the program, we provide training and capacity-building for various Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Youth-Led Organizations (YLOs). These sessions focus on effective approaches to teaching youth about sexual and reproductive health, incorporating innovative tools like the Ishema Ryanjye Cards game.
- Information Accessibility: In collaboration with secondary schools, Yego centers, and youth corners, we offer adolescents access to reliable SRHR information. This empowers them to take control of their lives and secure their futures.
- Inclusive Discussions: We engage adolescents, children, and their parents in discussions and learning sessions about SRHR, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and gender promotion. These sessions often utilize engaging methods such as SRHR games, fostering a supportive environment for open dialogue.
