Kami Phillip is a public health practitioner and a member of the GrenCHAP Board of Directors Proposal Writing & Allied Partnerships Working Committee.

Kami am passionate about promoting equality and justice in the accessibility of sexual and reproductive health and rights services (SRHR), particularly among marginalized communities, youth, and survivors of gender-based violence in Grenada.

Kami firmly believes that SRHR is interconnected with various other facets of life and development, such as education, economics, the environment, and human rights. Therefore, adopting a comprehensive approach to addressing these issues is crucial. However, the challenge lies in the fact that SRHR is often treated solely as a health concern, disregarding its integration with other sectors. Additionally, limited funding poses a significant obstacle to achieving wider accessibility to SRHR services. To overcome these barriers, advocacy plays a vital role in raising awareness and fostering an understanding of the importance of mainstreaming these rights into all aspects of development.

Kami is committed to actively finding solutions to address these concerns and helping the affected individuals.
