SRHR Awareness Workshop for Persons with Disabilities!
Friday, 5 June 2026 | Salvation Army Hall, Raiwai
The Disability Pride Hub (DPH), led by Ms. Eve, Ms. Mela, and Mr. Krish, in partnership with Health Equity Matters (HEM), represented by Ms. Benjamin and Mr. Isoa, successfully facilitated a Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) awareness session for DPH members, allies, and representatives from the Psychiatric Survivors Association (PSA), Fiji Mobility Alliance (FMA), and Fiji Association of the Deaf (FAD).
Participants actively engaged in the discussions and provided positive feedback on the presentations and health services offered during the workshop. Services included free blood pressure and blood sugar checks, HIV and AIDS testing, and other relevant health screenings.
SRHR is an important topic for the disability community in Fiji, as it helps individuals and families understand their rights, make informed decisions about their health, and learn how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections and other health-related risks.
Special thanks to Medical Services Pacific (MSP) and Rainbow Pride Foundation (RPF) for providing valuable information on HIV, AIDS, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as conducting free health checks, testing services, and referral guidance for participants throughout the one-day workshop.
DPH and HEM sincerely appreciate the participation and support of all attendees and partner organizations. Together, we remain committed to promoting accessible SRHR education, health awareness, and inclusive health services for persons with disabilities across Fiji.
