We champion an intersectional reproductive justice agenda, exposing how poverty, race, displacement, climate shocks, and harmful gender norms collide to strip women and girls of their bodily autonomy.

Our work is unapologetically bold and evidence-driven. From unpacking the drivers of unsafe abortion and tech-enabled child sexual abuse, to documenting the structural forces fueling the HIV epidemic, to spotlighting how child marriage endures amid inequities and poverty, we equip policymakers, advocates, and movements with the data, narratives, and tools they need to push back, resist, and reimagine.

What makes us different is how we work. We operate at the intersection of health, economic opportunity, social norms, and climate justice, because these are the realities women and girls live every day. Our solutions are equally integrated:

• Adolescent-friendly SRHR services in refugee camps in Nigeria and Uganda
• Positive masculinity programs in Rwanda, DRC and Nigeria, engaging men and boys as allies
• Evidence on how economic shocks drive child marriage, how climate migration disrupts contraception access,and how gendered power dynamics weaken both health and livelihoods

By illuminating these connections, we help governments, civil society, and global partners design holistic policies and programs that do more than treat symptoms: They dismantle root causes and create lasting, transformative change.

This is what it means to be a thought leader and a collaborative changemaker: ICRW Africa stands where research meets action and where evidence fuels justice.
