“The UK has a long history of supporting SRHR around the world. We are proud to be a leading donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and we are committed to ensuring that SRHR is a central part of our development programs.
“This new strategy will build on our existing work and will focus on four key areas:
- Increasing access to SRHR services

- Preventing violence against women and girls
“We believe that this strategy will make a real difference in the lives of millions of people around the world. We are committed to working with our partners to achieve our goal of a common future where all people have the right to make choices about their own bodies and lives.”
The new UK Aid strategy on SRHR is a welcome development. It is a clear statement of the UK’s commitment to ensuring that all people have access to the SRHR services they need. The strategy is ambitious, but it is achievable. With the support of our partners, we can make a real difference in the lives of millions of people around the world.
