Advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights

Despite the existence of laws and policies, full realization of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender equality continues to be a challenge in the Philippines. Hence, civil society organizations explore different strategies to improve reproductive health (RH) service delivery and to create safe spaces for women. To understand these efforts further, this study will examine four themes among the best practices of civil society organizations: education, male engagement, empowerment and advocacy. Here, I will explore some of their experiences in educating the community about their SRHRs, enhancing male responsibility on reproductive health, empowering gender-based violence victims and contextualizing global campaigns for local women’s activism. Despite some limitations, the practices identified here illustrated significant results in the advancement of sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender equality in the Philippines
