Support Survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Ghana: A Call to Action During the 16 Days of Activism on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence Against Women
..Advocate For Youth is a youth-centered Non-Governmental Organization registered in Ghana since 2004.
Our team consists of Social Scientists and Public Health scientists with a strong background and professional experience in promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and Adolescent Health as well as preventing sexual violence and harmful practices against Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW). As a non-governmental organization, we have the requisite level of commitment, knowledge base and experience set to contribute towards the achievement of the objectives of the United Nations Population Fund in Ghana. This team is best placed to be a reliable partner because apart from our individual and collective expertise, experience and interest in this subject matter, we are passionate about engaging adolescents and young people, especially girls and young women, and empowering them to grow to their fullest potential. With over 14 years of multiple country experience in working to improve the health of adolescents and young people, especially girls and young women in a diverse set of geo-political settings, including through the education systems of different countries, we clearly recognize the synergy between health (SDG 3), education (SDG 4) and gender equality (SDG 5). Underpinned by the “leave no one behind” slogan, our technical team sees program design through the gender lens, addressing the factors, such as Sexual and Gender Based Violence; harmful practices such as child marriages and unintended pregnancies, that inhibit adolescent girls’ and young women’s access to education, health and sustainable livelihood opportunities..
