Make Way for Youth
The Make Way for Youth podcast is a youth-led podcast that brings to the fore conversations on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in sub-Saharan Africa. Together, with co-hosts Warindi, Vilda and Bertha, the series will dive into an array of SRHR topics, including meaningful youth participation, disability justice and intersectionality. With SRHR under threat around the world, this podcast offers a space to break taboos, normalize conversations on SRHR and provide inspiring stories into the work of SRHR youth advocates, religious leaders, policymakers and civil society actors.
Make Way for Youth
Nothing for us, without us!
In episode five, we are joined by Wanjiku S. Thiga, a young aspiring politician and mobilizer, and Shillah Ukumbini Salim, Cabinet Secretary for Health in Kilifi County Youth Assembly. Together, we reflect on the recent youth-led #RejectFinanceBill 2024 protests in Kenya and the importance of youth advocating for their rights. We also speak about how to be safe online as advocates, as well as sustainable development for health in a shrinking civil society space in Africa.
