Partners’ Training on Reproductive Justice Litigation in Africa
THEME: “Reframing SRHR Litigation from Reproductive Choice to Reproductive Justice”
Background
Afya na Haki (Ahaki) is implementing a programme titled “Litigating Reproductive Justice in Africa (LIRA)” which aims at establishing, strengthening and sustaining a regional network advancing reproductive justice litigation to ensure access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in Africa. This programme fronts the shift from reproductive choice to reproductive justice in advancing SRHR in the region through the utilisation of national, sub-regional and regional litigation among others. The programme interventions are therefore, purposively designed towards achieving an environment where Africa embraces reproductive justice through progressive, evidence-based and collaborative litigation for access to SRHR.
Through the LIRA programme, Ahaki enhances the capacities of African organisations/ individuals towards litigating access to SRHR, utilising various interventions including conducting tailored training. It is against this background that this training will focus on fostering an in-depth understanding of a shift from reproductive choice to reproductive justice.

1. To foster a deeper understanding of the shift from Reproductive Choice to Reproductive Justice in framing SRHR litigation.
2. To provide a platform for sharing experiences on SRHR Litigation in Africa
Methodology
The training will be delivered by experts through interactive physical and virtual sessions.
Outcome
