Your voice matters!
As a young person, your voice is powerful. Advocating for your sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) means expressing your concerns, asking questions, and demanding access to important services and information. Here's why your voice is important and how to use it:
- Speak Up for Your Rights: You have the right to accurate information about your body, access to health services, and protection from discrimination. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and seek the support you need.
- Access to Information: Knowledge is power. Educate yourself about your sexual and reproductive health. Use trusted resources, talk to healthcare professionals, and attend educational workshops or classes.
- Seek Support: Reach out to trusted adults, mentors, or organizations that advocate for youth SRHR. They can provide guidance, support, and resources to help you navigate your health and rights.
- Know Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with local, national, and international laws and policies regarding SRHR. Understanding your rights helps you advocate more effectively.
Speaking up empowers you and others, fostering a sense of control and confidence in managing your health and rights. Your advocacy can lead to improved services, better education, and stronger protections for SRHR.
