Imagine a world where every question about health and rights is met with open arms instead of silence, where no woman or girl feels shame when asking about her body, her choices, her life 🙌🏼

We’re breaking down the walls of stigma and taboos, replacing them with conversations of empowerment and acceptance. Reproductive health, menstrual hygiene, and maternal care are more than just services—they’re fundamental rights. For too long, discussions on these topics have been hushed, hidden in whispers. But we believe in loud, unapologetic voices, lifting the silence that has held so many back. From menstrual health to safe motherhood, we’re ensuring that every woman and girl has the power to make informed decisions, access care, and reclaim her autonomy 💅🏼

We are not just building access to healthcare; we’re building a legacy of dignity, respect, and a future where health is celebrated, never shamed. Join us on this journey to make these conversations normal, loud, and everywhere 🧡💬

Our Story

SafeHands was founded in 2003 by award-winning photographer and film-maker Nancy Durrell McKenna, under the name SafeHands for Mothers. Her mission was to harness the power of photography and film to ensure every pregnancy and childbirth was safe.

But to do that means addressing broader issues like contraception, bodily autonomy, and social power. Women and girls must have access to sexual and reproductive health and rights information and services to make smart choices and have a safe pregnancy and childbirth.

That’s why we work to see a world in which women and girls have the information and knowledge to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We use multimedia communication to put SRHR information into the hands of women and girls to make full free and informed choices over their bodies and lives.

Our work started with maternal health but now extends beyond that and so must our name. That is why are now simply “SafeHands.”
