Aahung is working to strengthen the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people in Sindh and Punjab through innovative, community-driven initiatives.
One project focuses on youth empowerment and access to SRHR information. Trained youth champions in five districts; Matiari, Jamshoro, and Khairpur in Sindh, and Vehari and Sheikhupura in Punjab; are engaging peers in schools, colleges, vocational institutes, and communities.
In just 1.5 years, this effort has reached over 30,000 young people with accurate information, while also sparking dialogue through social media and WhatsApp groups.The project also targets the next generation of healthcare providers by integrating an SRHR e-learning course into medical and nursing curricula. In only five months, 10 nursing institutions in Sindh and Punjab have adopted the course, equipping more than 900 students with essential knowledge on family planning, contraceptives, and clients’ rights.
Complementing this work, Aahung has launched another project focusing on Menstrual Health and Dignity (MHD) in Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Kotri, and Matiari. This initiative combines school-based and community-based approaches: piloting age-appropriate MHD content in 15 private schools, training teachers to deliver it, and equipping youth advocates and community supervisors to lead awareness sessions with adolescents, mothers, and community elders. By doing so, the project addresses stigma, fosters self-care, and advances Aahung’s broader advocacy under the FP2030 framework.Together, these projects are creating safe, supportive environments where young people, especially girls, are informed, empowered, and able to make healthy decisions for their futures.
