The University of the Cordilleras Youth and Adolescent Sexuality and Reproductive Health Hub (UYAHH) continues to champion its advocacy of empowering the university community through accessible, inclusive, and stigma-free sexual and reproductive health services.

During the recently held Love Booth event, UYAHH transformed its space into more than just a booth; it became a safe haven for education, awareness, and open conversations. Anchored in the belief that sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental right, UYAHH ensured that its services were completely free and accessible to students, teaching staff, and non-teaching staff of the university.

The services offered included:
- Proper condom use education
- Condom distribution
- Lubricant distribution
- Perineal hygiene health education
- Demonstration of proper self-breast examination
- Distribution of cycle beads
- Free pregnancy test kits
- Family planning counseling

These initiatives aimed not only to provide supplies but to promote informed decision-making, body autonomy, and responsible health practices. Every interaction at the booth reflected UYAHH’s commitment to breaking stigma and normalizing conversations about sexual and reproductive health.

This initiative was made even stronger through the generous support of partner organizations Balay Marvi by LoveYourself and FPOP Baguio-Benguet, who extended their help in providing essential supplies. Their collaboration highlights the power of unity in advancing reproductive health advocacy and ensuring that resources reach those who need them most.

In recognition of its impact and the overwhelming support from the university community, the UYAHH booth proudly won the People’s Choice Award. More than just a title, this award symbolizes trust, appreciation, and the community’s collective belief in the importance of accessible sexual and reproductive health services.
UYAHH continues to strengthen its advocacy because empowerment begins with education, and education must always be within reach.
