SDSR-Lab: discussion forums on sexual and reproductive health and rights
The SDSR-Lab project, carried out with Sensorial Handicap Cooperation thanks to the support of Enabel, aims to promote more equitable and inclusive access to sexual and reproductive health and rights.
The objective of the project is to enable beneficiaries to be better informed and equipped on issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
To this end, the project is setting up discussion forums, known as discussion labs, where participants can freely exchange ideas, share their experiences, and develop ideas around SRHR.
These ideas are then transformed into concrete micro-projects. The results produced (materials, tools, messages, actions) are used by civil society organizations (CSOs) in their communication, awareness-raising, and advocacy activities.
The project relies on participatory approaches and exchanges with local stakeholders in order to better understand the realities on the ground and adapt communication strategies around these key issues.
