African conference on youth reproductive health

Overview

The 12th African Conference on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for adolescents and youth took place in Conakry, Guinea. The four-day event convened policymakers, experts, activists, and youth delegates from over twenty African nations to address challenges such as menstrual health, gender-based violence, family planning, and access to tailored health services.

Participants focused on how economic, health, and climate crises impact the rights and services available to young people. At the conclusion of the conference, the Guinean government expressed support for the event's recommendations. Khaïté Sall, the Minister of Health and Public Hygiene, called for a transition from declarations to “concrete actions” to support women, young women, and adolescent girls across the continent.
