Reproductive Health Issues


As an advocacy network, WAYAN advocates at policy and community level for enhanced access to comprehensive sexual reproductive health information and services for young people. WAYAN establishes linkages at provincial, national and international level for SRH (Sexual Reproductive Health) advocacy by working with partners, policy makers and other stakeholders to improve SRHR concerns in Kenya.


WAYAN seeks to improve the lives of young people in Kenya through;

1. Working with policy makers and leaders to enhance the implementation of existing policies and enforcement of laws. The establishment of WAYAN provides an opportunity for the youth themselves to advocate at national and community level for enhanced implementation of laws and policies that safeguard young people's reproductive health and rights, including HIV/AIDS.

3. Mobilize and educate young people to advocate for better to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information services for all youth and with special regard for youth in disadvantaged situation including those with HIV, or having a disability.

4. Strengthening Youth-Adult partnership- by working in partnership with adults, the youth  gain skills which  contribute to better understanding of Sexual Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS issues and how to deal with them.
