Last Friday was International Youth Day—a day to celebrate the role of young people as powerful agents of change in the work to build a healthier world.
Today, young people around the world continue to lack access to high-quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services that meet their unique needs and that empower them to make healthy and informed decisions about their future. With over half of the global population aged 30 or younger, the movement towards achieving healthy reproductive futures cannot be realized without the talent, energy, and input of the next generation of youth leaders.
