Planned Parenthood Federation of America
for support of strategic litigation for SRHR in Francophone West Africa
ActiveThis grant to Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Global program will support a project to build the capacity of legal organizations in Francophone West Africa (FWA) to use strategic litigation to promote sexual and reproductive rights. Strategic litigation has rarely been used in FWA to challenge laws and policies that violate human rights but has been a successful approach in other regions including East Africa, Latin America, and the U.S. Through capacity strengthening, convening, and flexible regranting to six legal associations in Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal this project aims to create a network that can effectively use strategic litigation as a tool for SRHR advocacy, overcoming cultural, religious, and legal barriers to set impactful precedents.
