CONFERENCE THEME
Access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights is a basic human right. However, preventable challenges around attaining the success of this precious foundation are numerous and more diverse in low and middle-income countries. The first RJRC2022 will happen for the first time in the heart of Africa, Kigali, Rwanda. The first of its kind will have a theme “Addressing what slows the success_ A way to overcome sexual and reproductive justice challenges for all".
We hope to gather people from different backgrounds to come at the center of conversations addressing Injustice in access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights information and services. Our core approach is to have a diverse community of people with lived experience of SRHR Injustice represented at the RJRC 2022 to share the word with activists, researchers, policymakers, religious people, and Global Professional Leaders and decision-makers.
