Today we had a successful consultative forum with girls at Magongo college garment making school. The consultative forum focused mostly on issues of contraceptive and Menstrual Hygiene management among the girls. During the discussions a number of misconceptions were aired out by the girls in relation to Contraception and Menstrual Health Management. Through the discussions it came out clear that, adults to whom young people turn for guidance are uncomfortable discussing topics like sex and family planning by far they fear that by having conversations about sex, will appear to condone it. The end result is that young people’s views of contraceptives are often shaped by rumors and misinformation among each other leading to unplanned pregnancy that end up to interrupting young life plans in a way.

#YouthCommunique
As an organization, today we marked world population day in style at Tudor, Mombasa grounds in Mvita sub county, Mombasa. The day’s highlights focused on the consequences of the increase in population over time and how it has affected the overall development plans and programs of the county as well as the entire country. The organization presented a youth communique to the Chief Officer Public Health Mombasa County Aisha Abubakar with key issues and recommendations by young people in Mombasa. The purpose of today’s activity was to raise awareness of global population issues with the theme of the event being “accelerating the promise”. This year’s World Population Day comes when the Nation will Host the ICPD25 summit in November, Nairobi. The international community will have an opportunity to recommit to the promises they made in Cairo and transform the world we imagined in the ICPD Programme of Action into a reality for every woman and girl.

Today we conducted a consultative forum in Likoni reaching over 250 young people. A unique aspect of today's consultation forum was the active involvement of young people contributions and holding the session in a religious institution that were critical to shaping towards the #ICPD25 agenda. They provided personal perspectives on their aspirations and the challenges they face on their day to day life. The issues raised were developed into communique that will be shared to key policy makers during the World Population Day 2019 at Tudor grounds.
