We Lead
Young women living with HIV in Mombasa leading on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
We Lead’s goal is that, by the end of 2025, resilient young women with disabilities, living with HIV, affected by displacement, or identifying as LBTI play a leading role in stronger, inclusive organizations and movements. Those movements should enjoy greater public support and convince duty-bearers and health providers to respect and protect these young women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights.
SYO builds public support through community awareness, sensitization, and communication so rights holders receive recognition from the wider public. It also strengthens individual and organizational capacity through non-discrimination, active participation, and inclusion, so rights holders have more control over the decisions and resources that shape SRHR services.
This five-year project is implemented by a consortium of 11 organizations in Kenya. SYO implements it in Mombasa County with young women living with HIV as rights holders. It is funded by Hivos, with the Centre for the Study of Adolescence as the host Kenyan organization.
