NAMAYINGO BANDA COMMUNITY YOUTHS ADVOCATING FOR SRHR.

The current absence or accessibility of such services profoundly undermines efforts to achieve gender equality and the economic empowerment of young women and young girls. Young girls have been subjected to different forms of discrimination, human rights violation such as a right to economic and productive resources and SRHR in Kamuli.

Through the enhanced women capacity in advocacy, the focus volunteers in WAGENET has strengthened the equal rights empowerment among the young women and young girls. The volunteers have helped people with sexual reproductive health rights awareness and giving the young women pathway to health facilities to access family planning services. These have also helped to link the community to law enforcement stakeholders in the community if the young women’s rights are violated.

The activity also helped the young women to ensure universal access to inclusive, quality early childhood by providing safe access to schools with adequate gender responsive facilities.
