Adolescent girls' bodies are often not fully developed for childbearing, putting them at high risk of prolonged, obstructed labor—the leading cause of obstetric fistula.

Obstetric fistula is a devastating injury that causes chronic incontinence, pain, and social isolation. The good news? It is preventable!

Access to voluntary contraception delays early pregnancy until a young woman's body is ready, protecting her health, dignity, and future.

🎉✍🏾 Today, we celebrate the voices, ideas and creativity of young people from Malawi’s public universities through the 𝗨𝗡@𝟴𝟬 Essay Writing Competition Awards.

Launched as part of the United Nations’ 80th anniversary celebrations, the competition explored the theme:

🌍 “The UN and Malawi: Building Our Future Together.”

The response was inspiring: 560 essays were submitted, reflecting the hopes, perspectives and ambitions of youth from across Malawi.

During the prize giving ceremony, the UN Resident Coordinator Rebecca Adda-Dontoh challenged the three winners to use their voices to offer solutions and collaborate with others. She encouraged them to dream globally and act locally in shaping Malawi's future.

"This award is not an endpoint. It is a launching pad where you will take off to go forward".

Drawing on this, Dean of Students Affairs, Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Dr Ronnie Mvula urged the students to continue practicing critical thinking and highlighted the importance of platforms that enable young voices to address the issues they face.

🏆 Congratulations to all the participants! Your ideas matter. Your voices matter. Malawi’s future needs you. 🇲🇼🙌🏾
