Coalition, made up of international nonprofits that work on adolescent and
youth issues, wants USAID to hear from *YOU *about the sexual and
reproductive health and human rights (SRRH) issues that are most important
to you and why! ****
** **
*When: *On October 18, the Youth Health and Rights Coalition will hold an
online presentation and discussion where you can exchange ideas directly

and reproductive health and rights should be made. To make this session as

regardless of your technological capabilities, we ask that you provide the
