Advocacy
At SHINE SA, we are committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health, rights and equity for all South Australians. Our advocacy work is grounded in the belief that access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, services, and resources is a fundamental human right.
We work alongside our communities, government bodies, healthcare providers, and community organisations to influence policies and initiatives that promote sexual and reproductive health and relationship wellbeing and equitable access to services, prioritising marginalised and diverse communities.
We advocate for evidence-based approaches to sexual and reproductive health that affirm and celebrate diversity, autonomy, and informed decision-making. This includes supporting policies that improve access to contraception, STI and BBV prevention, testing and treatment, inclusive and comprehensive relationships and sexual health education, and services that meet the needs of our communities.
By raising awareness and influencing change, SHINE SA aims to create a healthier, more inclusive society where everyone can access the information, care, and support they need to live their lives with safety, pleasure and respect.
