Abstract :
Even though, a lot of funding has been
injected into Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
(SRHR), sadly, the area is still poorly addressed and
unfulfilled. For the case of Kyaka II Refugee, little or no
research is available on SRHR.
Purpose: This survey sought to determine the prevailing
status of SRHR services in the Kyaka II refugee
settlement.
Methods: This quantitative study was a survey in nature.
Using stratified sampling, primary data were collected
from 117, females aged 12 to 60 years. 13 respondents
were randomly selected from each of the 9 zones of the
settlement.
Findings: The study found out low (20%) prevalence of;
Sexual Health, Sexual Rights, Reproductive Health, and
Reproductive Rights, in the refugee settlement.
Value/ Recommendation: This study is valuable to
funders, policymakers, and organizations responding to
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in refugee
communities. Therefore, more funding allocation, in the
areas of SRHR in the settlement, is recommended by the
study.
