Are the Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights of Women Living with HIV Still Confined by Covid-19
As the lead researcher for Kenya, Wanjiku conducted focus group discussions and interviews with women from different backgrounds living with HIV and those most at risk to document their experiences. It was clear that the SRHR needs of women and especially those living with HIV were still at the confines of COVID-19 even after the pandemic had been managed.
Are the Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights of Women Living with HIV Still Confined by Covid-19is an update from colleagues across East and Southern Africa about the SRHR issues still facing women living with HIV. This advocacy report builds on our previous reports on the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women living with HIV in these regions, immediately before COVID arrived; and in the midst of the COVID lockdowns.
Together these 3 reports provide a unique insight into the immense challenges experienced by women living with HIV across these regions in relation to their SRHR, as well as their resilience and resourcefulness in seeking to support one another to overcome them. Each report clearly sets out the recommendations made by women themselves to donors, governments, the UN, and other stakeholders.
