Empowering Youth: The Key to Inclusive Reproductive Health Rights.

Eco Scope Foundation had the privilege of attending a crucial meeting organized by the Tanzania Media Women’s Association (TAMWA), bringing together key stakeholders and journalists advocating for reproductive health rights in the country.

One major issue that stood out during the discussions was the lack of meaningful involvement of young people in conversations and decision-making about reproductive health. This gap has created serious challenges, leaving many young people without access to proper education and healthcare services, increasing their risk of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and stigma when seeking reproductive health support.

🔹 Why Should Young People Be Included?
✅ Reproductive health is a basic human right that affects everyone.
✅ Young people make up a large part of society, so their awareness is key to building healthier communities.
✅ Access to the right information helps them make informed decisions and avoid preventable risks.
✅ Engaging young people in decision-making ensures sustainable solutions to the challenges they face.

It’s time to amplify the voices of young people and ensure they are actively involved in shaping policies and discussions about reproductive health. Together, we can create a society where everyone has access to the knowledge and care they deserve.
