Afya Haki has opened applications for the 2026–2027 Africa Reproductive Justice Litigation Fund, an initiative designed to strengthen legal efforts that protect reproductive rights and bodily autonomy across the continent.
Aim
The fund supports projects that use the law as a driver of social change. It prioritises litigation, legal advocacy, and policy reform that challenge discriminatory laws, expand reproductive freedoms, and defend the rights of women, gender-diverse people, and other vulnerable groups.
The overarching goal is to build stronger, more just legal systems that safeguard reproductive justice in African communities.
