“All in all, it was amazing for me as a young person to be at a UN event like this. It’s the largest space of political lobbying in the world.” This April, the 52nd session of the UN Commission for Population and Development (CPD) took place in New York. Youth advocate, Jairo Rodrigues from Guyana attended, as part of our Right Here Right Now Strategic Partnership.
This year marks 25 years after the signing of the ICPD Programme of Action. In the run-up to the anniversary celebrations in November, UNFPA is joining forces with the strategic partnership Right Here Right Now to advance SRHR for all. At a special reception in Naivasha, Kenya, all parties re-affirmed their commitments and young advocates from across the international partnership shared their recommendations and experiences.
Young people are naturally curious about sex and sexuality. Rutgers asserts the right of young people to receive adequate education to make well-informed choices in relationships and their sexual lives. Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) means providing information and guidance about the physical and emotional aspects of growing up and starting relationships.
