🌍Young people from across Africa came together for a powerful conversation on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and the future of Africa’s demographic dividend.

One message stood out clearly: Africa’s young population is not a challenge — it is an opportunity. As Hon. Moumouni Dialla, President of the Pan African Youth Union (PYU), shared during the discussion, “Africa’s young population is not a problem for the continent; it should be considered a tool for success.”

Speakers highlighted that unlocking this opportunity requires investment in young people’s health, education, dignity and leadership. Opening the session, the AUDA-NEPAD Director reminded participants that “SRH is dignity, opportunity and empowerment.” At the same time, SAYoF CEO Misheck Gondo stressed that “youth leadership is not a right, it is essential.”

The webinar also explored the realities many young people continue to face across the continent, including stigma, poverty, child marriage, misinformation and limited access to youth-friendly SRHR services, especially in rural communities.

SAT Regional Policy Officer Levi Singh called for stronger continental coordination and political commitment around the demographic dividend agenda, stating, “We don’t need a slogan around the demographic dividend. We need coordinated leadership.”

As discussions continue with policymakers next week, the recommendations and lived experiences shared by young leaders during this webinar will help shape future continental dialogue and action on SRHR and the demographic dividend.

Africa’s future will be shaped by empowered, informed and healthy young people — and the time to invest in them is now!

Today is International Workers’ Day 💼👩‍🌾👮‍♀️👩‍⚕️

It’s more than just a public holiday, it’s a reminder that the working world we know today didn’t just happen. Back in 1886, workers in Chicago stood up and demanded fairer hours, pushing for the 8-hour workday instead of exhausting 17-hour shifts. That fight shaped the rights many people benefit from today.

For us young people, this day is also about thinking ahead, the kind of work we want, the conditions we deserve, and the future we’re building. It’s also a moment to recognise how women continue to break barriers across spaces like education, health, business and leadership, showing that progress is possible when opportunities are equal.

So while we celebrate, we also reflect. Fair work, equal pay, safe environments. These are our rights, and they are worth protecting and pushing forward.

Happy International Workers’ Day 🌍✊🏽

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 💜 Today we celebrate the strength, creativity and achievements of women and girls everywhere. But it’s also a reminder that the journey to equality isn’t finished yet — especially for young girls.

Across Africa, millions of girls still face barriers to education, safety and opportunities, and nearly 1 in 3 girls will experience violence in their lifetime. Too many are judged for their choices, pushed out of school by pregnancy, or told their dreams are “too big.”

This year’s theme reminds us that real change starts with how we treat each other every day. Supporting girls means sharing the right information, refusing to shame someone for asking about contraception, standing up against sexism, and cheering your friends on when they chase their goals.

Because when girls gain confidence, knowledge and support, they don’t just change their own futures — they help change the world.

Let’s build a future where every girl feels safe, respected and unstoppable.
