All youth deserve the right to have respect for their needs. Youth should be provided the support to live without fear and discrimination in every aspect of their lives. This means that society needs to respect us, throughout all processes of our decisions, whether it’s respect for our feelings or our actions. Youth want positive and accurate information, so that we can make healthy choices about how to live our lives. We should have programs that provide support for youth to help us make decisions with confidence and the belief that we are building a better future for ourselves. We need the freedom to talk about and express our sexuality in a way that is positive and healthy. Society needs to allow us, the youth, the space to share our ideas and views. If this happens, we will be able to respect ourselves and respect other people.
I’m a member of the Ethiopian youth Council for Higher Opportunities (ECHO), supported by Advocates for Youth and Talent Youth Association. Our council’s work is devoted to addressing the needs of young people’s reproductive and sexual health in Ethiopia. You’ll hear more from me on Amplify and I can’t wait to read comments and blogs from you all too!
