@OkelloBrendah, ED @meraki_ug, noted that harmful gender norms can pressure boys to prove manhood by impregnating girls.
She also emphasized the need to equip peer educators with accurate information so they can better support their peers.

Today we begin a New jounrney with members of @WezeshaGirls to Advance Girls Rights through SRHR Advocacy and Storytelling:
We are excited to introduce our new project focused on Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Advocacy and Storytelling.
The project will create opportunities for adolescents and young people to build their knowledge, raise their voices and use storytelling to advocate for the issues that affect their lives.
We believe that when young people have the knowledge, confidence and safe spaces to speak up, they can become powerful advocates for change.
Through this initiative, we look forward to amplifying young voices, challenging stigma and strengthening advocacy for access to accurate SRHR information and services.
Every voice matters.
Every story can inspire change.
Every young person deserves to be heard.

When hunger keeps returning, we also need to ask:
Where are the accountability gaps?
From water infrastructure and agriculture to school feeding, social protection and climate resilience, how resources are planned, allocated and monitored matters.
As we mark #InternationalYouthDay2026 under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” one aspiration stands out clearly: young people want a real say in the decisions that shape their future.
Our upcoming #RestlessConversations X Space will explore how stronger accountability and meaningful youth participation can contribute to longer-term solutions to hunger in Karamoja.
Because hunger is not only about food. It is also about who gets heard, how decisions are made, and whether those decisions deliver.

Every child deserves to learn, play, and grow in safety. Let us create homes, schools, and communities where children are heard, protected, and empowered to speak without fear.
Protect. Prevent. Report.
