VISION The HERA will work towards the establishment of a world in which sexual and reproductive rights are guaranteed and a world in which all men, women and young people are healthy and free, celebrating their sexuality and diversity as a basic principle of their way of living. VALUES The HERA believes that the sexual and reproductive rights are inseparable from any of the human rights and that each individual must enjoy the right of his/her sexual liberty, identity and right to have access to SRHR information and services. The HERA believes that the right of making free choices is a legitimate need of each individual to make free choices about his/her body, life and sexual and reproductive health. The HERA believes that sexual and reproductive rights are necessary for the enjoyment of high standards of mental, physical and social welfare. The HERA fully recognizes and respects the needs and concerns of the young, the vulnerable and marginalized groups, including those of the people who live with HIV, concerning their SRHR and commits itself towards their implementation. The HERA is an organization of volunteers which stimulates youth participation in the implementation of its mission and its objectives. The HERA believes that enhancement of sexual and reproductive health and rights is possible only through co-operation and mutual commitment on the part of each of the significant stakeholders in the country, such as governmental and nongovernmental organizations, civil society organizations or institutions. MISSION The HERA is inclined towards achieving enjoyment of basic human rights of women, men and the young who must be correctly informed and have appropriate access to high quality confidential services in order to make their informed choice regarding issues such as their sexuality, as well as the prevention, care and treatment of sexually transmittable infections and HIV, including achievement of full protection of the rights of people who live with HIV/AIDS and their close families, contraception, access to safe and legal abortion and exercise of sexual and reproductive rights.
