Voices for Health and Development (Voices), a feminist, women-led not-for-profit organization, engaged nearly 40 female students at Nkumba University in focus group discussions on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH).
The session, held on May 7, 2025, aimed to inform the organization’s programming and advocacy strategies by capturing the lived experiences of girls in university spaces. According to Rose Mahoro, Programs Manager at Voices, the focus group discussions were critical in understanding the unique SRH challenges faced by female students. “These insights will help guide more targeted and effective interventions to mitigate reproductive health issues within higher education institutions.”
