YAWI convened members of the Building Futures Network for the 2nd Quarter Collaborative Network Meeting, uniting partners dedicated to advancing the well-being and rights of adolescent girls and young women.
A central focus of the meeting was strengthening initiatives around s*xual and reproductive health (SRH) for school girls, with special attention to menstruation management and age-appropriate s*x education.
Members discussed progress on ensuring girls have access to menstrual hygiene resources and accurate, relevant information about their bodies, empowering them to manage menstruation with dignity and confidence.
The meeting also highlighted the critical role of providing comprehensive, age-appropriate s*x education in schools as a key strategy for protecting girls from s*xual abuse and exploitation.
Through open dialogue, partners reviewed ongoing SRH and GBV prevention efforts, addressed emerging challenges, and identified new opportunities for collaboration. The network reaffirmed its commitment to creating safer, healthier, and more empowering environments for girls and young women.
As we move forward, our collective impact grows through partnership, shared learning, and coordinated action. Together, we are building a future where adolescent girls and young women are equipped with the knowledge, support, and opportunities they need to thrive and stay safe.
Thank you to all our partners and network members for your active participation, valuable insights, and unwavering dedication to driving lasting change.
