Climate change is one of the world's most pressing crises, with nary an area it doesn't touch––but DYK that it's even a threat to Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights? Climate change drives millions of people every year to lose agency over the safety/health of their own bodies.

Young people in the US face layered challenges in accessing sexual and reproductive health services, starting with inconsistent sex education that leaves many uninformed about critical topics.
We are launching "Asking for a Friend" which will offer youth a holistic solution.
"Asking for a Friend" combines interactive decision-support tools, a geo-locator for services, and educational content in youth-friendly language, tackling issues of cost, confidentiality, and rights awareness.
