About Marsa

Marsa Sexual Health Center is a feminist organization that is among the pioneers of sexual and reproductive health and rights advocacy in Lebanon since its initiation. We believe that access to non-stigmatizing sexual health education and services are fundamental for the autonomy and agency of girls and women. We continuously strive to include women, in their diversity, in the development and implementation of our various advocacy activities.

About We Lead

We Lead is a new, inspiring, innovative program aiming to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH-R) of young women. The program puts these young women rights holders in the driving seat, while supporting them to impactful and sustainably advocate for their SRH-R.

The We Lead program supports young women’s’ groups and organizations. We connect these rightsholders with one another in local Communities of Action (CoAs) and support and coach them, so that they are better able to advocate for, claim, protect, and promote their SRH-R.
