Health & Reproductive Rights
Why This Intervention
In marginalized and underserved communities, especially urban slums, access to healthcare—particularly reproductive and adolescent health—is severely restricted. Women and adolescents often lack awareness about basic health rights due to societal taboos, poor infrastructure, and gender-based stigma. Topics such as menstruation, contraception, and sexual health remain largely unspoken, leading to misinformation, unsafe practices, and poor health outcomes.
Barriers such as untrained service providers, lack of youth-friendly services, and community resistance make it critical to design interventions that address access, awareness, and accountability together. Promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is essential for building equitable health systems and enabling individuals to live with dignity and autonomy.
Asian Bridge India (ABI) works at the intersection of health access and rights-based advocacy by:
- • Conducting health camps and COVID-19 vaccination drives in hard-to-reach slum areas.
- • Building the capacity of community health workers (ASHA, ANM, Anganwadi) on adolescent-friendly, gender-sensitive care.
- • Delivering SRHR education programs to adolescents, with a focus on girls.
- • Organizing audits of hospitals to evaluate and improve their youth-friendliness.
- • Promoting community-based accountability mechanisms and sensitizing gatekeepers.
