New week, new conversations. As we start a new week, let's prioritize sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Accurate information, safe services and informed choices are fundamental rights not privileges. Let's continue to promote open conversations, education and support for healthier, responsible and informed idecisions.

: SRHR Youth Summit

Last year, with support from terre des hommes schweiz, we supported the International Youth Network tdhs to convene the SRHR Youth Summit. The summit brought together young people and key stakeholders under the theme:

“Youth-driven initiatives for equitable SRHR service delivery: A conversation about access, progress, accountability, and action.”

A notable output of the summit was the introduction of a Commitment to Action Card, through which stakeholders formally documented concrete actions they pledged to implement beyond the convening. This approach aimed to move discussions beyond dialogue and place accountability at the centre of SRHR engagement.

As we reflect on the summit, we remain keen to see how these commitments will be followed through in practice and contribute to tangible improvements in access to youth responsive SRHR services.

A new year brings fresh beginnings and new opportunities. As we step into 2026, we continue to empower young people through sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender equality and climate justice.

Our mission is to build a strong youth hub, where all young people can work collaboratively to achieve good health, gender equality, and environmental protection, contributing to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We look forward to working together with young people and partners as we create a more just, healthy and sustainable future.

It’s the festive season and schools have closed, meaning many young people are spending more time at home and within their communities. This period often comes with increased social interactions and new experiences. It is therefore a critical time for young people to make informed and responsible decisions about their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

As we gear up for the holidays, let us remember the importance of open conversations, access to accurate information and supportive environments that empower young people to protect their health and make choices that protect their health.

Let’s join conversations and share resources information and resources on SRHR. Together let’s make SRHR a priority!

Today, we join the global community in commemorating Universal Health Coverage Day under the theme, “Unaffordable health costs? We are sick of it.” Earlier today, we attended a meeting convened by Community Working Group on Health - CWGH and Zimbabwe Council of Churches. This follows the recent announcement by the Minister of Finance that 15% of the 2026 national budget has been allocated to health.

The purpose of today’s meeting was to provide a platform for multi sectoral stakeholders to analyse the 2026 National Health Budget, assess its implications for health and social development and collectively identify priority advocacy issues that will strengthen national health financing dialogues.

Key takeaways include:

✅ The need to capacitate and continuously engage Members of Parliament by participating in budget consultation meetings, ensuring they understand the real issues faced in communities.
✅ Encouraging MPs to advocate strongly for the Primary Health Care approach.
✅ Submitting budget expectations early to influence national planning processes.
✅ Increasing allocations for village health workers to ensure they remain motivated and adequately supported.
✅ Ensuring the National Health Insurance Scheme responds to the unique needs of vulnerable and hard to reach communities.
✅ Accelerating digitalization of the health sector to enhance monitoring, transparency and reduce corruption.
✅ While the 2026 National Health Budget appears positive on paper, there is still a need for strong commitment to targeted health taxes such as the sugar tax.

As we reflect on UHC Day, it is clear that achieving equitable and affordable health care requires more than budget announcements. It demands accountability, meaningful engagement and sustained advocacy.

Today, we join the world in commemorating Human Rights Day under the theme “Our Everyday Essentials.” This day reminds us that SRHR are fundamental human rights that youths should have access to. It also comes as the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV come to an end. Over the past two weeks, the campaign has highlighted how violence, stigma and limited access to information continue to affect youths especially when it comes to their SRHR.

As the 16 Days wrap up, Human Rights Day brings our focus back to making sure young people can access SRHR services, get accurate information and live free from violence and discrimination every single day.

SRHR are human rights and every young person deserves safety, dignity and equal access not only during campaigns, but throughout the year.

Digital platforms should be safe spaces where girls and young women can learn about sexual and reproductive health. But online harassment and abuse silence them, pushing them away from the information that protects their wellbeing. During the 16 Days of Activism, we call for safer digital spaces where every young woman can access knowledge without fear. Let’s UNiTE to end digital violence against all women and girls!
