Taking the Law to Communities to Enhance Sexual Reproductive Health Rights for Girls

Access to Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) is a major barrier to most girls in Zimbabwe. This is due to legal restrictions on adolescent access to SRHR, lack of knowledge, lack of available SRHR commodities, distance from services, harmful cultural practices and an insensitive justice delivery system. These factors exacerbate Gender Based Violence, early child marriages, teenage pregnancies and community case resolution. They also limit the girls' right to health and other human rights.
