Empowering Girls, Transforming Healthcare;This dialogue, themed “Girl Power Rising: Amplifying Voices and Catalyzing Change for Improved SRHR/YFHS Financing and Accountability,” aims to

• Provide a safe space for young girls to share their experiences, challenges, and aspirations regarding SRHR and YFHS.

• Spark meaningful discussions and collaborations among youth leaders, policymakers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders.
• Develop concrete recommendations to improve SRHR and YFHS programs and policies to better meet the needs of young girls in Malawi.

This dialogue will prioritize the voices and perspectives of young girls. The agenda will feature:

• Interactive workshops led by experienced facilitators on topics like sexual health education, menstrual hygiene management, and navigating healthcare services.
• Panel discussions with diverse stakeholders to explore challenges and opportunities in SRHR and YFHS programs.
• Peer-to-peer learning sessions where girls can share their experiences and support each other.
• Creative expression through art, music, and poetry to amplify girls’ voices and messages.

This girl-led initiative strives for three impactful outcomes

• Empowered and informed girls: Building a generation of young women who are confident in advocating for their health and well-being.

• Actionable recommendations: Developing concrete proposals to improve SRHR and YFHS programs and policies based on girls’ lived experiences.
