Since the inception of the programme, 10 national legislations have been reviewed or even passed across the area, marketing the expansion of SRHR for youths and defense coming from gender-based brutality, with improved prosecution of wrongdoers of violence.Evidence coming from our 2gether 4 SRHR program shows that peer mentoring projects incorporated with youth friendly health services are actually impactful.
