As #16DaysOfActivism 2026 approaches, YNCSD joins the global UNiTE campaign, calling for justice for survivors, an end to impunity, and cross-movement solidarity to defend human rights and prevent the rollback of hard-won rights. Read the full statement: yncsd.org/wp-content/uploads…
Say NO to child marriage.
Childhood is not marriage preparation. Girls should not have to abandon their education, safety, and aspirations to become wives and mothers.
Child marriage is a violation of rights. It must be challenged, prevented, and brought to an end!
Building community-led solutions to end child, early and forced marriage.
We have facilitated our second community dialogue in Badarawa and Jaji, Kaduna State, creating space to discuss child marriage and the realities shaping girls’ lives.

Today, on Intersex Awareness Day, we reaffirm the importance of protecting the rights, dignity, and bodily autonomy of intersex people.
Challenge harmful stereotypes, speak out against discrimination, and demand healthcare practices that protect the rights of intersex people.
Women’s empowerment is essential to advancing equality, dignity, and human rights. Yet, economic inequality, harmful gender norms, gender-based violence, and unequal access to opportunities continue to limit the choices available to women and girls.

It is #AdolescentHealthWeek. A time to focus on what young people are going through, what they need,and what must change for their health and well-being.
They deserve a say in decisions that shape their lives. Let's make room for them to speak and lead. Join, share, learn, act!
Every girl deserves the freedom to speak, ask questions, express herself, and make decisions about her own body and life without shame, silence, or pressure to fit restrictive expectations.

Mental health is part of health and deserves care, attention and investment. Too many young people struggle in silence. Let’s listen without judgment, speak up, and demand accessible, affordable mental health care for all.
