Robust Advocacy

Since inception, YNCSD have been catalysing efforts of young people towards ending Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and gender based violence, through effective programming that transforms social norms underpinning these practices as well as promoting Reproductive Health and Rights for women and girls.

Communications and media engagements

We are a catalyst for social change by engaging young people on critical sexual reproductive issues affecting them and amplifying their voices to speak for human rights through targeted advocacy to key players, capacity building and development, communications and media engagements, partnerships and programme implementation.

Youth engagements /partnerships

Our engagements and campaigns promote positive stories of change from across the Youth-led movement on ending FGM and other Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) issues for women and girls

Our Approach

We employ robust advocacy, in-depth research, policy negotiation, youth engagements/partnerships, capacity building and development of young people because we believe that when young people come together to speak in one voice against a social issue, the world listens! We also engage relevant stakeholders to make commitments towards solving identified challenges.
We believe that no one should be left behind in the campaign to make the world a better place for women and girls.
