OUR JOURNEY
The Beginning
The Sexual Rights Centre (SRC) was founded to secure "access, voice, and agency" for Zimbabwe’s most marginalized communities. Its origins are rooted in a Rights-Based Approach, focusing first on the individual and the collective. By harnessing self-determination among children, adolescents and young people; women and girls affected by gender-based violence and sexual exploitation; people living with HIV; adults at elevated risk of HIV acquisition, including key and vulnerable populations within the national HIV response; adults who sell sex; people affected by drug and substance use, the SRC began as a movement to challenge deep-rooted inequalities. This early phase focused on building the "nascent" capabilities of these groups, allowing them to transform from vulnerable populations into empowered advocates for their own sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The Growth
Guided by the Rao and Kelleher’s model, the SRC’s growth evolved into a sophisticated "Theory of Action." The organization scaled its impact by addressing both formal and informal power structures, moving from community organizing to institutional influence. It expanded its footprint across 11 key districts—including Bulawayo, Lupane, Gweru, and Victoria Falls and built a professional team of 25 staff members. Growth was further defined by strategic partnerships with "secondary stakeholders," such as law enforcement, health practitioners, and religious leaders, to dismantle the systemic barriers of stigma and discrimination.
The Future
The SRC’s future is anchored in its 2021–2026 Strategic Plan, aiming for a Zimbabwe where SRHR is fully protected by law. This phase focuses on the Systemic and Organizational quadrants of change, prioritizing policy harmonization and the long-term sustainability of the movement. By fostering iterative, non-linear pathways for advocacy, the SRC is transitioning toward a future defined by inclusive service delivery and permanent shifts in national discourse. The goal remains a "management of change" that ensures the rights of the marginalized are not just voiced, but structurally upheld and protected.
