Generation Dialogue Public Meeting in Petauke District! ✨🌍
On 24th April 2026, Young Happy Health and Safe (YHHS), in partnership with Management for Health (M4H) and with funding support from GIZ Zambia, officially conducted the Generation Dialogue (GD) Public Meeting in Petauke District.
The project successfully brought together younger and older generations to openly discuss critical community issues such as sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), HIV prevention, early pregnancies, and gender-based violence (GBV). Through these dialogues, participants strengthened mutual understanding and cooperation, fostering a healthier and safer future. The initiative emphasized the importance of appreciating cultural traditions while adapting them to modern realities, ensuring relevance across generations. By engaging in these conversations, individuals were empowered to become Dialogue Champions leaders who value culture, promote respect, and work to improve lives for people of all ages. Ultimately, the project built bridges between generations, encouraged intergenerational learning, and reinforced community resilience.
During the first public meeting:
• Participants shared lessons learned across generations.
• Pledges were made to address harmful traditions while preserving positive cultural practices.
• Stakeholders including DEBS, DACA, and the District Health Office were called upon to collaborate in tackling GBV, HIV/AIDS, and teenage pregnancies.
Together, we are building a community where tradition and progress walk hand in hand
