Welcome the stranger. Protect the refugee. A case study of HIAS Kenya
In March 2019, HIAS Kenya set out on a mission to improve the access to quality, fair and safe Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and services for youth. This is not only a primary concern but a crucial component to the realization of one’s health no matter their social, economic or cultural status.
However, it is this case study’s contention that SRHR of refugees are not prioritized for adequate integration in humanitarian planning and work. Because of this general failure to appropriately recognize refugees’ SRHR (SRHR), the existing challenges in broader society’s SRHR are exacerbated among vulnerable groups.
