YNCSD joined partners at the Girls First Fund (GFF) convening in Togo to reflect on efforts to advance girls’ rights and end child, early and forced marriage, while exploring challenges and opportunities for more effective action.

Together, we explored ways to prevent child marriage, support survivors, strengthen community-led responses, and navigate shrinking civic spaces. The convening offered an opportunity to exchange insights and reaffirm our commitment to girls’ rights.

Today, on Intersex Awareness Day, we reaffirm the importance of protecting the rights, dignity, and bodily autonomy of intersex people.
Challenge harmful stereotypes, speak out against discrimination, and demand healthcare practices that protect the rights of intersex people.
Women’s empowerment is essential to advancing equality, dignity, and human rights. Yet, economic inequality, harmful gender norms, gender-based violence, and unequal access to opportunities continue to limit the choices available to women and girls.

Every woman deserves access to education, economic opportunities, safety, and the freedom to participate in decisions that affect her life.
Join us in challenging the barriers that hold women back and advancing a world where every woman and girl can thrive.

It is #AdolescentHealthWeek. A time to focus on what young people are going through, what they need,and what must change for their health and well-being.
They deserve a say in decisions that shape their lives. Let's make room for them to speak and lead. Join, share, learn, act!
Every girl deserves the freedom to speak, ask questions, express herself, and make decisions about her own body and life without shame, silence, or pressure to fit restrictive expectations.

Investing in girls means protecting their choices, safety, education, and futures. Girls deserve the time and freedom to grow into who they want to be. End child marriage and invest in girls’ rights! #dayofthegirlchild #yncsd

Mental health is part of health and deserves care, attention and investment. Too many young people struggle in silence. Let’s listen without judgment, speak up, and demand accessible, affordable mental health care for all.

Peace Circles put communities at the centre of peacebuilding, creating space for dialogue, mediation and collective action. With support from BMZ through GIZ, we’re strengthening community-led pathways to lasting peace.

Every child pulled out of school and pushed into marriage loses more than an education, they lose the freedom to decide who they want to become.
Child marriage is not a tradition. It is a violation. Every child deserves the right to grow up and choose.
#EndChildMarriage
The Feminist Coven: To mark Global Safe Abortion Day 2026, YNCSD x @ige_srh brought together feminists, advocates & activists for honest conversation on bodily autonomy & reproductive justice, speaking candidly on stigma, barriers to care & organising in hostile spaces.
