Summary: These case studies demonstrate and discuss
community-based initiatives that use human
rights to frame issues of access to women’s
and men’s rights to sexual and reproductive
health in Ethiopia and Kenya.
These case studies from East Africa demonstrate and discuss community-
based initiatives that use human rights to frame issues of access to
women’s and men’s rights to sexual and reproductive health in Ethiopia
and Kenya.
The paper
1) Explains the participatory process that staff took with communities to
learn how
rights and responsibilities were defined by communities themselves;
2) Provides examples of how staff planned and then actually used this new
knowledge
in designing strategies and educational messages to help communities to
address
issues related to rights and specifically to female genital cutting; and then,
3) Discusses lessons learned and questions raised by project staff when
taking an
inductive approach to rights in community-based health projects.
