What we do

WGNRR strives to achieve full SRHR for all people via advocacy, campaigns, networking and capacity building of members.

WGNRR places a particular focus on access to safe and legal abortion, access to contraceptives, sexual rights and the special unmet demands of young people.

Towards achieving this goal WGNRR will work to advance the implementation of SRHR targets within the ICPD PoA and the MDGs alongside commitments made under the Beijing Platform for Action.

WGNRR effectively campaigns and takes action, together with her members and partners, to achieve full sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. WGNRR particularly focuses on the access to safe and legal abortion, access to contraceptives and the full realisation of one’s sexual rights. We strive for better access to SRHR for especially vulnerable groups such as young people and adolescents. In order to achieve our goal, we promote the implementation of SRHR within the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action (PoA) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). When working with the MDGs, we work with MDG 5b (Universal Access to Reproductive Health), in particular, and strengthen it by linking it with the other MDGs. This is WGNRR’s overarching goal.

We have five ‘programme goals’ which help us realise the overall goal above in a holistic manner. A programmatic approach means that all our activities and actions are strategically focused and contribute to the larger WGNRR goal.
