IYD 2021: Celebrating Young Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health Leaders

August 23, 2021

This year, the HCDExchange set out to honour International Youth Day all month long instead of just August 12 which is marked as International Youth Day. We did this by sharing the first draft of the co-created statement on Meaningful Youth Engagement at the intersection of HCD and ASRH with the community and hosted three design workshops focused on a) how to create awareness for ASRH information, interventions & innovations (co-hosted with YUX Senegal); b) how to increase access to ASRH solutions (co-hosted with Tinkerlabs) c) how to  improve advocacy for the AYSRHR agenda (co-hosted with PSI Ethiopia / A360).

We are closing out the month by celebrating seven young change makers who are making huge impacts in the sexual reproductive health of adolescents in their community.

HCDExchangers, meet the young leaders …
