Who we are

WGNRR is a southern-based global network that builds and strengthens movements for sexual and reproductive health, rights (SRHR) and justice. Our work is grounded in the realities of those who most lack economic, social and political power.

WGNRR works to realise the full sexual and reproductive health and rights of all people, with a particular focus on the most marginalised. We believe that achieving this goal requires transformative social change. 

WGNRR is not a funding or donor organisation.

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 uses a programmatic approach with all her activities and actions to contribute towards the realisation of WGNRR’s overall goal of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. 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). In particular, we work with MDG 5b (Universal Access to Reproductive Health) and then strengthen it by linking it with the other MDGs.

Dandelion Kenya’s work in Pipeline Camp with internally displaced communities

By Dandelion Kenya

During the post-election violence in Kenya and the clashes between, primarily Kalenjin and Kikuyo, about 1200 people were killed, many more injured and more than 600 000 people became internally displaced persons, IDP´s.  More than 3000 were placed in tented camps outside Nakuru.

A huge empty field was called Pipeline IDP camp. Sadly enough it still exists, although with fewer people, despite the promises from the government.
