IYAFP Membership Program
The IYAFP Membership Program is open to both registered and unregistered youth-led organizations and networks actively engaged in Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice (SRHRJ) and/or other human rights issues at national, regional, or global levels for at least one year. Each organization appoints one main delegate and one alternate delegate, both aged 18-30, as its representatives. IYAFP’s member organizations are required to be youth-led rather than youth-serving, defined as having at least 80% of senior management aged 30 or under.
Our Areas of Work
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Justice, HIV and AIDS.
Gender Equality, Social Justice and LGBTIQ+ rights.
