SESSION: DISMANTLING SOCIAL HIERARCHIES THROUGH SRHR ACCOUNTABILITY WORK – WORKING WITH VULNERABLE AND SOCIALLY EXCLUDED COMMUNITIES

The struggle for realising sexual and reproductive rights is deeply influenced by gender related social norms and various axes of inequities and injustice prevalent in societies. This panel will interrogate how these inequities influence sexual and reproductive health rights, and what elements must form a part of accountability practice, both at the interface of communities with health systems but also within health systems and communities themselves. Speakers will present their practice of working with various marginalised communities like Dalit women in India, sex workers in Bangladesh, Roma women in Macedonia, nomadic pastoralist women in Nigeria, HIV positive persons in Zambia, youth from urban slums in Uganda, and citizenship concerns of transpersons in India.
