Religion continues to shape how many people think and talk about sexuality and reproductive health in Ghana and beyond. Teachings that emphasise abstinence, chastity, and procreation within marriage often clash with modern SRH approaches like contraception, comprehensive sexuality education, and safe abortion. For many young people, this tension breeds confusion, guilt, and silence when making decisions about their sexual health.
This episode explores whether religion and SRH can truly coexist without contradiction. Can faith communities engage in open discussions on safe sex, menstruation, or family planning without compromising their values? Can SRH advocates and faith leaders work together as partners instead of opponents? Through personal stories and diverse perspectives, we examine how faith and SRH can find common ground in promoting health, dignity, and informed choice.
