SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS – A GLOBAL MOVEMENT (VISION 2020)

CULTURAL AND GENERATIONAL GAPS AND MAKING SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS

AVAILABLE TO ALL.

Overwhelming to see how sexual and reproductive health overlaps with every other aspect of society.

Unbelievable that there are so many areas still left untouched.

Recognising that youth leaders are the future champions of this movement.

Acknowledging the ground work already lain by previous generations but challenging ourselves and others to take up the mandate and move forward.

Looking at sexual and reproductive health from the inside out.

Self > Family > Community > Town > City > Country > Region > GLOBE!

Taking not ONLY a top down approach to solve the problem but also doing the ground work that will support the top.
