In conflict-prone and fragile contexts, women and young girls in particular are highly vulnerable. They are confronted with aggression and violence throughout society, with little protection against assaults. An environment in which Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are neither addressed nor recognized. Cordaid believes that access to information and services regarding SRHR is an entitlement for everybody to live a healthy life and make free and secure choices for their futures.

By facilitating informed decision making and providing access to quality services, they can choose and decide which services are most appropriate for their needs. It gives individuals the opportunity to make their own possibly life saving choices in this respect.
