A human-rights based approach must be promoted through developing inclusive SRHR policies that ensure access to services without discrimination on the grounds of, inter alia, sex, gender, age, religion, race, ethnicity, marital status, sexual orientation.
#ReligionAndSRHR
There is urgent need to counter patriarchal structures strengthened by
fundamentalist & punitive versions of religion that narrow the scope for women's agency, & negatively impact
women's & young people's SRHR.
#ReligionAndSRHR#ZamaraVoices
Sexuality is considered taboo and sinful, thus limiting safe spaces for frank and positive dialogues on SRHR issues. SGMs are unable to acknowledge & develop positive attitudes with regards to their sexuality & access SRHR services.
#ReligionAndSRHR#ZamaraVoices
Unmarried and single women are from prevented from accessing sexual and reproductive health services and interventions by religious authorities, who serve as gatekeepers of culture.
#RegionAndSRHR#ZamaraVoices
Religious fundamentalists oppose any space for change that results in direct & indirect controls over gender & sexuality, limiting women's rights, particularly for women from marginalised communities, including gender & sexual minorities.
#RelgionAndSRHR#ZamaraVoices
Religious authorities legitimise gendered roles as preordained & based on God-created 'natural' differences. Regressive interpretations of religion combined with an appeal to morality tend to undermine SRHR, denying women the power to make decisions.

Women, girls and young people in Kenya lack access to comprehensive information on sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) despite the country’s constitutional framework guaranteeing
reproductive health care and access to such information.

We need to prioritize our advocacy on SRHR especially during this political season .There is a need for capacity building on SRHR on elected leaders to enhance budget allocation of Sexual Reproductive health programs in the counties.
