Resume

While a global backlash against Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) is increasing, the Danish Family Planning Association (DFPA) is observing a growing interest among young people in Denmark to contribute to end SRHR injustices at an international level. We want to tap into this momentum and further inspire and amplify this popular support to SRHR in the Danish development cooperation. We will offer the youth in Denmark an opportunity to advocate for global SRHR by: 1. Establishing and enabling a “Youth Network for Global SRHR”, consisting of 10 youth volunteer activists in Denmark, to develop and lead advocacy activities encouraging young people in Denmark to contribute to or endorse activities addressing Global SRHR challenges and solutions. 2. Reaching and committing 200 young people in Denmark to contribute to or endorse international SRHR activities of DFPA and our partners in the Global South through peer-led solidarity actions.
