Girls lead in Sexual and Reproductive Health – Part 2

Meet Maryner, an inspiring youth leader in Zambia who speaks up for young people’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). In this unique episode, the Youth Champions are joined by Jeremiah, a member of the Youth Advisory Board, who sat down with Maryner in Chadiza and learned about her work as a youth researcher and girls’ group facilitator. Through a series of clips, we hear from Maryner on the privacy barriers that youth experience when accessing SRHR and how she overcame pushback as an advocate for young people’s health and rights. Maryner shares her passionate message on youth leadership and believing in yourself even when others don’t. Jeremiah also shares his reflections on visiting the SHE SOARS* project and meeting incredible youth and community leaders like Maryner.SHE SOARS, funded by Global Affairs Canada, is the Sexual and reproductive Health and Economic empowerment Supporting Out-of-school Adolescent girls’ Rights and Skills project.
