This Toolkit is designed to be applied as a cohesive guidance document complete with workable tools to assist individuals and groups working in SRHR at both national and regional level to anticipate, respond to and mitigate the impact of anti-rights narratives on SRHR in Asia and the Pacific. The Toolkit contains two modules with imbedded chapters, namely, Sustainable Movements (which is guidance on how to monitor and analyse trends as well as protect our own) and Strategic Response (which is created to capacitate SRHR defenders in legitimate message making, identification of opponents, and engagement of intersectional allies). Depending on the need, the Toolkit may be applied as a whole or with only particular chapters accessed. The Modules may also be used by more senior advocates to capacitate emerging leaders and nascent networks.
The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for the Asia Pacific Regional Mechanism to advance ICPD beyond 2025 developed the toolkit. The TAG consists of representatives from Asia Pacific Alliance for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (APA), Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW), Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN), International Planned Parenthood Federation East and South East Asia & Oceania (IPPF ESEAOR), FP2030 Asia - Pacific Hub, MSI Reproductive Choices, and in partnership with UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund in Asia and the Pacific.
