So, Circle Rwanda conducted a research on “Religious Leaders’ Perceptions on Sexual Reproductive Health Rights of youth with compounded Vulnerabilities”The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians in Rwanda in collaboration with Circle Kenya Regional office disseminated the research findings on February 19th 2024 and 50 Religious Leaders and Make Way partners were involved in this activity.
This study was conducted in Rusizi, Gasabo and Nyagatare Districts under Make Way programme. Rev. DrNagajuMuke the leader of Circle Rwanda who supervised the research explained that as SRH issues are considered a taboo topic in religious settings, the research was conducted to establish if religious leaders support the youth to access SRH information and services. High levels of teenage pregnancies can be attributed to lack of SRH information.
