Sexual and reproductive health and rights in the GEC

All 27 projects currently supported by the Girls’ Education Challenge have interventions to address sexual and reproductive health and rights (SHRH). Project activities range from the provision of health and hygiene kits and learning sessions for girls on SHRH, to life skills training, boys’ clubs and community ‘Dialogues’. This issue of GEC 'Lessons from the field' looks at the challenges faced by both the girls and the projects that are trying to support them, it outlines the work projects are doing to increase awareness and change attitudes and practices, and highlights what ‘works best’ in achieving real and lasting change.
