    Excellent blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks a lot! http://www.folorentorium.com/

    youth sexual reproductive advocacy Rights must be respected, protected and fulfilled.27 • Respect: this means not infringing any individual’s human rights. For example, the right to education is violated if a government (a State) denies pregnant adolescents the opportunity to continue their schooling. • Protect: this means ensuring that no State or non-State actor infringes anyone’s rights. For example, ensuring the recognition of the equal rights of everyone, in their economic, social, cultural and political lives, by putting in place laws and policies that remove gender-based discrimination and punish those who commit violence against adolescent girls. • Fulfil: this means taking positive steps to put the right to health into practice. For example, the right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health is violated if a State does not provide information and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health-care services that meet adolescents’ needs

    strengthing family planing WHAT BARRIERS PREVENT ADOLESCENTS FROM ACHIEVING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING? Although nearly all countries have signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international declarations, treaties and conventions, each country’s legal provisions for adolescent health are different.38 Even in countries where a national legal framework exists, cultural norms, customs and religious laws often undermine or even violate adolescents’ right to health.39 As outlined by the Adolescent & Youth Constituency of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (the Partnership), key barriers that stand in the way of adolescent health and well-being include: • Lack of comprehensive national plans that include and prioritize adolescent health and well-being as a form of investment • Insufficiently resourced national strategies or plans for adolescent health, and weak capacities (e.g. of health providers and programme managers) to implement programmes • Limited knowledge among policy-makers about how to develop plans for adolescent health and well-being • Low financing specifically for adolescents and young people to engage meaningfully in policies and fully support adolescent health programmes • Lack of collection of disaggregated data on adolescents and youth to inform such policies and programming (especially for very young adolescents and for unmarried adolescents more broadly) • Lack of opportunities for meaningful engagement of adolescents and young people in programme design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) • Limited knowledge and capacities among adolescents and young people to effectively engage in policy design, implementation and M&E processes • Challenges encountered by adolescents and young adults organizing for a joint voice on the issues concerning them, at community, district and national levels.
