COUNTERING OPPOSITION TO THE RIGHT TO DECIDE.
SheDecides works with Champions and allies to counter opposition to bodily autonomy and drive progress in sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Through research projects, amplifying stories of progress and sharing intelligence amongst our network we build a stronger and better informed pro-choice movement. As opposition to the right to decide intensifies, this work is more important than ever.
Research and Evidence:
Promoting Facts and Data
We partnered with Ipas on the report “Futureproofing: The Professionalization of an Anti Rights Youth Generation”. It uncovers how for decades anti right groups have been targeting young people with the goal of rolling back SRHR.
Our Youth SRHR Research Digest provides essential summaries, key highlights, and recommendations from recent literature on adolescents’ and young people’s health and wellbeing.
Closed Door Government Meetings
We bring together Ministers and Governmental leaders at key policy moments like CSW, CPD and UNGA to build knowledge and understanding within political leadership and ensure political support for our issues remains.
SheDecides Masterclasses and Briefings
We share the latest insights with our community through SheDecides Masterclasses and bespoke briefings for our movement members.
Driving Fact-First Narratives and Global Media Reach
We counter fake news with truth. Through active media placement, we amplify marginalised voices so that lived experiences and factual information are in the mainstream
