Equity in Aotearoa
- Equity in Aotearoa
- About
-
We're working towards equitable sexual and reproductive health and rights for all people in Aotearoa.
Inequity is a big problem in Aotearoa. Māori and Pacific people, women and girls, trans people, gender diverse people, and disabled people all experience inequitable healthcare and outcomes, compromised access to healthcare, and limited rights and autonomy.
We use our expertise in sexual and reproductive healthcare to support policies, practices, recognition of rights, and attitudes that further equitable health outcomes and human rights.
