Youth Advocates leads the way towards a future in which children and young people can enter freely into productive adulthood because they are educated, engaged, healthy, free from STIs and AIDS, and not exposed to violence, unintended pregnancy or unsafe abortion; a world where girls are treated with dignity and respect in equal measure with boys and where, regardless of their identity, young people’s human rights are promoted and respected. That future is resilient and sustainable, and that is the future we want.
