Call For Proposals for Litigating Reproductive Justice in Africa (LIRA). Are you working on and/or thinking about litigation to advance or protect Reproductive Justice? This first African fund for litigating SRHR justice is for you.

An African organization called Afya na Haki Institute (Ahaki) develops knowledge and strengthens advocacy skills in the fields of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

In order to accomplish its goals, Ahaki employs Africentric approaches in a local, regional, pan-African, and international context.

Under its initiative on Litigating Reproductive Justice in Africa, Ahaki is thrilled to announce the launch of the first African fund supporting SRHR litigation in Africa (LIRA). In order to guarantee access to SRHR in Africa, the LIRA Programme aims to build, strengthen, and sustain a regional network advancing reproductive justice litigation. Through proactive, evidence-based, and cooperative litigation for access to SRHR, the LIRA program seeks to foster an atmosphere in which Africa embraces reproductive justice.
