About Hivos
Hivos is an international development organization guided by humanist values. Together with citizens and their organizations, we aim to contribute towards just, inclusive and life sustaining societies where people have equal access to opportunities, rights and resources. We work in partnership with others in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America on three impact areas: civic rights; gender equality, diversity and inclusion, and climate justice. Our approach is solution driven, and we build wider movements for change by amplifying and connecting voices.
Hivos is currently implementing the We Lead program in a consortium with Positive Vibes, Restless Development, Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres (FCAM), FEMNET and Marsa. We Lead is a partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs aimed at supporting young women to claim their SRH-R, saying: ‘Nothing about us without us!’ .The program targets young women and adolescent girls who; live with HIV/AIDS, identify as Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex or Queer; live with disability; and/or are affected by displacement.
The program aims to ensure that rights holders play a leading role in strengthened and inclusive organizations and movements that enjoy increased public support and have convinced duty bearers and health service providers to take steps towards implementing laws, policies and practices that respect and protect these young women’s SRH-R by 2025.
We Lead Intermediate Outcomes
