SUMMARY:Youth in Action: Championing Global Adolescent Health
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 10 for an inspiring conversation on youth-led efforts to advance adolescent health globally! \n\n\nAdolescent health is both a critical priority and a complex challenge\, as young people aged 10-19 represent over 1.2 billion individuals globally. This stage of life is marked by rapid physical\, emotional\, and social changes\, which can profoundly shape adult well-being. \nA critical issue in adolescent health is menstrual equity. Millions of adolescents worldwide face barriers to accessing affordable menstrual products\, hygiene facilities\, and comprehensive health education. These challenges perpetuate inequality\, affecting health\, education\, and economic opportunities. Nonprofits\, governments\, and youth leaders are working to dismantle these barriers. Young people are at the forefront of the global menstrual equity movement. Learn how they are driving transformative changes for global health and equity! \n  \nFeatured Speaker: \nZiyaan Virji  \nKeynote speaker and founder\, For the Menstruator \nZiyaan Virji is a 23-year-old award-winning keynote speaker and founder. At the age of 15\, he started For the Menstruator\, an initiative dedicated to achieving menstrual equity\, which has reached over 25\,000 people across ten countries. His work has expanded into climate\, health\, and education sectors\, impacting over half a million people globally. Ziyaan has spoken on platforms like TEDx and the United Nations and has earned the Princess Diana Award. He is the founder and CEO of Leaders of Today\, a company focused on inspiring and empowering young people to begin their own leadership journeys through media\, consulting\, and speaking engagements. \n  \nWhat to Expect: \nThe event will include a presentation about the current global context of adolescent health\, leading into a moderated discussion with Ziyaan\, and a Q&A session. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister today!
