Supporting Out-of-school Adolescent girls’ Rights and Shills (SOARS)

Out-of-school adolescent girls are consistently left out of traditional adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programming, are difficult to reach, and often have the greatest need and least access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services. locations where the benefits of domestic legal advancements on SRHR and related health system strengthening interventions have not yet reached young people. This has left large youth populations, in particular adolescent girls, especially vulnerable as they navigate the difficult and often contradicting social norms, roles, and expectations that result in limited access to related health services.

SHE SOARS is a 9,210,155 million CAD project that aims to increase enjoyment of health-related human rights for women and girls rights holders, particularly out-of-school adolescent girls in Uganda. The Project is funded by the Government of Canada and CARE, with volunteer in-kind contributions from the Center for Reproductive Rights and the Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. The project will run from July 2022 to January 2029.
