About us
Advocates for Youth works alongside thousands of young people here in the U.S. and around the globe as they fight for sexual health, rights, and justice. Advocates for Youth envisions a society in which all young people are valued, respected and treated with dignity; sexuality is accepted as a healthy part of being human; and youth sexual development is normalized and embraced. In such a world, all youth and young adults are celebrated for who they are and afforded honest, affirming, inclusive sex education; access to confidential, universal sexual health services; and the economic, educational, and social power to exercise their bodily autonomy and make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.

Thank you to The 19th and Nadra Kareem Nittle for highlighting the importance of comprehensive menstrual health education in the classroom and referencing the PERIOD. and Thinx Inc. 2023 State of the Period Study! Our study found that a majority (78%) of teens agree education around menstrual health should be part of the core curriculum, just like math. AB 2229 in California (sponsored by Assemblymember Lori D Wilson) is an important and obvious step forward in ending the stigma surrounding menstruation. 🩸 Read the full story at: https://lnkd.in/gSRwvrVS and take action for California AB 2229 at https://lnkd.in/gmaddTbX 📣 Advocates for Youth
