UNITED! Movement youth advocacy brief: Young, bold and informed! Powering our voices in SRHR and HIV advocacy in ESA

The UNITED! Movement youth advocacy brief equips young people across Eastern and Southern Africa with evidence, strategies, and practical tools to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and HIV advocacy. Drawing on regional data and youth perspectives, the brief highlights persistent gaps in youth-friendly services, early pregnancy, HIV prevention, and access to comprehensive sexuality education, while offering clear advocacy goals and actionable strategies. From engaging governments, donors, and private sector actors, to leveraging digital tools and community initiatives, this brief empowers young advocates to protect services, influence policies, and drive sustainable change in SRHR and HIV.
