About the ARROW Advocacy Institute Cohort 2

Based on our experiences of working in the SRHR field for more than two decades, we now feel the need to provide not only our partners but our larger constituencies with the physical and safe space to exchange knowledge and develop strategies. AAI is our commitment to movement building in the region, as we believe a strong movement is fundamental to creating necessary political and social change.

ARROW’s Advocacy Institute will find its niche in the region with its focus on SRHR and its interlinkages with other axes of poverty, conflict and wars, climate change, food security and sovereignty, religious fundamentalism, and disability.

ARROW recognizes that the current world is marked by increasing inequality where SRHR is sidelined, and the integral rights to bodily integrity and bodily autonomy are affected.
