SHE & Rights (Sexual Health with Equity & Rights) Initiative

Sexual Health with Equity (SHE) & Rights initiative (or SHE & Rights initiative) was launched in September 2024 to build, sustain and increase media understanding and engagement, around sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice (SRHRJ), bodily autonomy and other issues related to gender justice - with the lens of equity and human right to health – in Asia Pacific and African region.

Co-hosted by Asia Pacific Media Alliance for Health and Development (APCAT Media), Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW), International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR), Global Center for Health Diplomacy and Inclusion (CeHDI) and CNS, this initiative was launched around Asia Pacific Feminist Forum 2024 in lead up to the Safe Abortion Day 2024.
