CARE Canada’s Youth Champions, Amal, Lauren and Madeline, continue their conversation with Ruth, a youth activist based in Kenya who supports young people to lead advocacy efforts through the SHE SOARS* project. In part 2 of this episode, the group dives deeper into the role of youth activism and unpacks what it means to have youth meaningfully engage in the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) movement. They share experiences of youth-led activism and discuss the role of advocacy to improve young people’s access to SRHR in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Canada. 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.
