At Women Deliver 2026, a pivotal session organized by Sonke Gender Justice, Hivos, Care International, and Nawi Collective emphasized that achieving sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) requires a feminist economic approach centered on care economies. Speakers, including Boemo Sekgoma of the SADC Parliamentary Forum and Memory Kachambwa of FEMNET, argued that SRHR cannot be separated from economic justice, as the disproportionate burden of unpaid care work on African women limits their autonomy and contributes to high maternal mortality rates and vulnerability to gender-based violence. The discussion called for structural transformation, urging global financial mechanisms like Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to be redirected toward strengthening public health systems, recognizing unpaid care work, and funding SRHR services, thereby shifting from symbolic inclusion to genuine feminist economic empowerment.
