We know that sexual and reproductive health and rights are completely and inextricably intertwined with gender equality. We also know that marginalized groups are particularly vulnerable to discriminatory practices that CAN prevent them from leading healthy lives. But that CAN change. Engenderhealth's strategy includes the following theory of change: if ALL people are empowered and engaged and if they live in supportive communities where systems and institutions provide high-quality, gender-equitable sexual and reproductive healthcare and if policies, LAWS, and processes are supportive, then they will exercise their rights to sexual and reproductive health services and participate as equal members of society. Our programmatic activities build on the lessons learned and BEST practices gained through decades of experience working in more than 100 countries around the world to support individuals, communities, and healthcare systems in delivering high-quality, gender-equitable programs and services that advance sexual and reproductive health and rights. Engenderhealth brings expertise in the following technical areas to the programs we implement in countries across ASIA and africa: comprehensive sexuality education; contraceptive counseling and service delivery; maternal healthcare, including fistula prevention, care, and treatment; basic emergency obstetric and newborn care, including safe surgery/safe cesarean delivery; prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections; prevention, detection, and treatment of cervical cancer; prevention, screening, counseling, and related services for survivors of genderbased violence.
