As part of the First Deafblind International Asia Regional Conference, we proudly release our Call to Action on advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for individuals with deafblindness. This Call to Action highlights the urgent need for inclusive policies, accessible education, and strengthened healthcare services to ensure that individuals with deafblindness can fully exercise their rights to SRHR.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Policy & Legal Reforms – Inclusive SRHR policies and laws.
- Inclusive CSE – Accessible curricula and support materials.
- SRHR Services – Accessible and tailored healthcare services.
- Advocacy & Awareness – Challenging stigma and promoting participation.
- Monitoring & Accountability – Tracking progress and ensuring implementation.
This Call to Action serves as a roadmap for governments, policymakers, healthcare providers, and civil society organizations to create a world where individuals with deafblindness enjoy their full SRHR rights.
