Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services is a fundamental human right. Yet, many individuals still face significant barriers in obtaining the care they need. The “Know Your Service” campaign aims to empower people with the knowledge and resources to confidently access critical SRHR services.
Through this initiative, My Age Zimbabwe provides clear information on available STI screening, HIV testing, and contraception options within the local community, armed with this knowledge, young people can make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, and take proactive steps to protect their wellbeing.
“Don’t let misinformation or stigma prevent you from accessing the care you deserve. Together, we can break down barriers and ensure everyone has the freedom to make choices about their own bodies and future! “
