CARE Canada’s Youth Champions continue their conversation with Sithembile and discuss what the SHE SOARS* project is doing to increase young people’s knowledge about their health and rights. In part 2 of this episode, Sithembile explains the curriculum that is implemented in the girls’ and boys’ groups, which uses participatory activities for learning and youth leadership. Sithembile explains how gender and social norms, including issues of consent, impact young people’s access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Zambia. The group learns what project partners are doing to engage parents and communities, shift attitudes and build skills to create positive change.

*SHE SOARS, funded by Global Affairs Canada, is the Sexual and reproductive Health and Economic empowerment Supporting Out-of-school Adolescent girls’ Rights and Skills project. Learn more at: https://care.ca/shesoarsproject
