Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Justice, HIV and AIDS

We advocate for the rights of young people to make informed decisions about their bodies and their futures, working towards a world where SRHRJ is respected, protected, and fulfilled for all individuals, regardless of their circumstances.

Gender equality, Social Justice and LGBTIQ+ rights

We advocate for the rights of LGBTIQ+ individuals, working to eliminate discrimination and violence. Our commitment extends to addressing broader issues of gender equality, patriarchy and social justice, striving to dismantle harmful stereotypes, that perpetuate inequalities.

Meaningful Adolescent and Youth Engagement

 

Through capacity strengthening and advocacy, we work to create spaces where young people can  influence policies that directly affect them. We’re dedicated to ensuring that young voices are heard in global, national, and community contexts.

Climate Justice and Sustainable Development

Our work involves raising awareness about the impact of climate change especially in vulnerable communities. We also promote initiatives that empower young people to be advocates for climate justice and sustainable development.
