Grassroot activists criticise SRHR policy misalignments

The Centre for Solutions Journalism (CSJ) has urged for renewed initiatives to pass the Termination of Pregnancy (T.O.P.) Bill in Malawi to improve maternal health.
The Centre believes the enactment of the bill will solve the problem of misalignments within some policies, laws and the Penal Code
CSJ Executive Director Brian Ligomeka has pointed out inconsistencies and misalignments in certain laws and policies regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights.
"While the Gender Equality Act and National SRHR Policy ensure access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services and rights, some provisions in the Penal Code criminalize and limit these rights," he noted.
During CSJ’s strategic meeting on SRHR matters in Chiradzulu, Ligomeka raised concerns about the delay in the passage of the Termination of Pregnancy Bill, despite its potential to decrease maternal mortality rates.
