Why PROGRESS matters.

Real change happens when people come together.
At #PROGRESS2026, youth leaders, advocates, researchers, practitioners and policymakers from across Africa will share ideas, strengthen partnerships and turn learning into action for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.

SRH is a human right — not a privilege. 🌍

Millions across Africa still face barriers to care: stigma, cost, geography, inequality.

Join us in Kenya at #PROGRESS26, MenEngage Africa's SRHR Symposium, as we chart a path forward.

2030 is closer than we think.

Taking a walk down memory lane to Progress 2024. ✨

"The symposium's strong emphasis on young voices and leadership was really inspiring," -Luke Twesigye, MenEngage Uganda 🇺🇬

Progress 2024 showed us what's possible when youth lead. Progress 2026 in Mombasa is next. 🌍

This Father's Day, we celebrate fathers as carers, not just providers. 💙

In Oct 2024, the High Court ruled that SA's parental leave provisions are unconstitutional, violating the rights to equality and dignity.

Sonke continues to call for a 4:4 model – four months of paid leave for each parent.
