Thrilled to witness history being made as an amazing woman of color becomes the first female Vice President JD Vance in the USA.

Millions of girls are coerced into unwanted sex or marriage, putting them at risk of unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, and dangerous childbirth. Adolescent boys are at risk, as well. Young people both boys and girls

Yet too many young people face barriers to reproductive health information and care. Even those able to find accurate information about their health and rights may be unable to access the services needed to protect their health.

Adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health must be supported. This means providing access to comprehensive sexuality education; services to prevent, diagnose and treat STIs; and counselling on family planning.

It also means empowering young people to know and exercise their rights – including the right to delay marriage and the right to refuse unwanted sexual advances.

If the nation is to address its rapid population growth, it is crucial to acknowledge the importance of the reproductive health concerns of adolescents and young people, particularly in their decisions related to avoidance of unwanted pregnancy.

Community should Advocate for adolescent pregnancy prevention among all stakeholders through interventions such as information provision, sexuality and health education, life skills building, contraceptive counselling and service provision,and creation of supportive environments

States have obligations under human rights law to provide contraceptive information and services to adolescents. States are obliged to adopt legal and policy measures to ensure access of all individuals, including adolescents, to affordable, safe and effective contraceptives

Maternal health care, as part of sexual and reproductive health, should be free, confidential, adolescent-responsive and nondiscriminatory, and barriers to services such as third-party authorization requirements should be removed.

Just IN: Virginity Repair - WHY?🤦🏽‍♀️ SWEDEN: The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU) has issued a warning call over clinics offering hymen restoration procedures to girls. Hymen restoration, also referred to as “virginity repair”, rests on the notion that bride must

enter marriage as a virgin and bleed on the wedding night as PROOF that she has been sexually untouched. #Sweden has been very alarmed by the fact that a new such player, the NAB clinic, has opened its doors with a number of branches in Stockholm. A “virginity repair” costs over

SEK 15,000 ($1,800). For the money, the clinic promises “small bleeding” on a couple's wedding night. The procedure is not medically justified; 'virginity repair surgery' is similar to infibulation (#FGM Type III) where the labia of a woman are force-pulled and sewn together!
