A Free Toolkit for Integrating Children’s Sexuality and Gender in Programmes dealing with Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights

The objective of this toolkit is to assist civil society organizations to enhance their capacities and efficiency in responding adequately to issues of sexuality, gender and SRHR within the context of HIV, sexual and reproductive health rights and education and services for children. It is designed to assist organizations working in the field of HIV and/or SRH, providing information and education to internalize, integrate and mainstream issues concerning sexuality and gender into existing policies and activities.

The Toolkit aims to meet this objective through:

  • Sensitisation on issues of SRHR and sexuality education and services for children;
  • Providing tools and other resources to assist organizations working towards this goal;
  • Providing tips and guidelines on how to engage with community members, including parents, religious leaders, policy-makers, and other relevant stakeholders in tackling sensitive and controversial topics on sexuality education and services for children.

Who will use this toolkit?

  • This Toolkit has been designed for people working in organizations that already work with issues of sexuality, gender and SRHR within the context of HIV. We hope that it will be useful for the heads of these organizations, for senior management and for those responsible for the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes, as well as for organizational development
  • The Toolkit is designed to assist you to undertake a review of your organization, your internal capacity and your ability to respond to issues of sexuality and gender. The tools provided offer ways to evaluate your organizational structure, values, and your approach to your work, as well as your strategies and programmes.

The tools included in this Toolkit provide an opportunity for you to evaluate whether sexuality and gender issues are successfully internalised and brought into the mainstream of the processes of your own organization, and how to further develop these processes.

The Toolkit has been developed through a consultative process with a number of organizations. While there are many similarities between organizations working in the field of children’s rights and SRHR for children, there are also a number of differences. Because your work environment is different from the environment of every other organization, the information contained in the Toolkit is drawn from a wide variety of sources and adapted to be flexible for use with different organizations.
