Last week, FMP joined advocates, health professionals, policymakers, and community leaders from across Africa and globally at the Abortion Reproductive Justice Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Our participation represented the voices of sex workers and women in Ugandan fishing communities on a continental stage, reaffirming our commitment to reproductive justice.

The conference brought together organisations working at the intersection of reproductive health, human rights, and gender justice. Sessions ranged from legal frameworks and policy advocacy to community-based models of care, and FMP contributed to these critical conversations.

The conference was a powerful space for learning. We gained new perspectives on legal reform efforts, clinic-based models, and digital tools for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information. A recurring theme throughout the conference was the importance of centering marginalized voices—particularly sex workers, women with disabilities, and young women—in reproductive justice advocacy.

The team returns from Nairobi strengthened, inspired, and more committed to advancing reproductive justice through community-led approaches, partnerships, and evidence-based advocacy that prioritizes those most affected by inequities in access to care.
