Across Asia and the Pacific, conversations around sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are becoming increasingly contested. In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in anti-rights and anti-gender messaging, often driven by misinformation and designed to create fear and division. In this context, how we talk about SRHR, and whose voices are heard, matters more than ever.
Shaping Positive SRHR Narratives in Asia and the Pacific: A Toolkit to Support Advocates and Allies toolkit was developed to support advocates, partners, and allies in shaping positive, people-centred narratives that resonate across the region’s diverse communities. Drawing on the experiences of those working on the ground, it aims to help strengthen understanding and build broader support for bodily autonomy and access to essential SRH care, including modern contraception—especially for marginalised and oppressed groups.
This toolkit centres on the broader public conversation. It offers practical ways to reframe how SRHR is understood and discussed, grounding messages in lived realities, shared values, and the everyday experiences of people and communities.
At its core, this is about shifting the narrative—towards one that affirms dignity, choice, and rights for all.
