Her Future, Her Choice is developed to respond to the gender inequality and women’s rights violations undermining access to comprehensive, rights-based sexual and reproductive health information and services for adolescent girls and young women (10-24 years) in selected districts of Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia. HFHC directly addresses the barriers that are hindering access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for adolescent girls and young women – particularly harmful social norms, traditional practices and taboos regarding sexuality, lack of adequate information on SRH services, and lack of decision making power by women regarding their health and sexuality. In so doing, the program ultimately contributes to transforming gender inequality and discrimination, which are at the root of these barriers.

| Adolescent girls and young women, men and boys, community-leaders and norm-setters engaged in awareness raising |
Through these interventions, Her Future, Her Choice will contribute to ensuring that adolescent girls and young women in target areas enjoy their right to bodily autonomy; exert their right to choose their sexual and reproductive health options and are treated with dignity and respect; and are empowered to claim their human rights, so they can lead healthy and productive lives.
The ultimate outcome of this program is: Improved adolescent and young women’s comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in targeted districts in Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.
The expected results, as per the initiative’s Intermediate Outcomes, include: 1) Increased claiming of sexual and reproductive health rights and quality services by adolescent girls and young women in targeted districts; 2) Improved quality of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services for adolescent girls and young women in targeted districts; and 3) Strengthened engagement of WRO and YLOs in advocating for policies and resources to support SRHR at the national, regional and international level.
