Young women in leadership prove that strength and compassion can walk hand in hand to build communities that are inclusive, bold, and visionary. As this youth and women's month is coming to an end, we celebrate all the female and youth leaders shaping lives positively- young in age but mighty in impact. Please tag a Female and youth leader that inspires you in a comment section to make them feel special.

Last Friday, we held an interesting and engaging discussion during our youth-friendly space meeting with our adolescents. Using a case study, we explored access to SRHR services particularly around the role of parental consent. Young people shared diverse perspectives—some supporting parental involvement, while others emphasized the importance of allowing adolescents to make informed decisions about their own health.

The conversation was respectful, constructive, insightful, and centered on both the rights of young people and the value of guidance from parents and guardians. We concluded by identifying practical approaches that can balance parental involvement with youth autonomy in accessing SRHR services.

We would love to hear your thoughts, should there be parental consent in SRHR service accessibility, or not?

A united community, is a victorious one and an inclusive world ignites positive change. Effective leadership is one that includes representatives at all levels. Youth bring energy, creativity, and fearless ideas, while elders bring wisdom, empathy, and the power to nurture change. Together, we can create movements that uplift communities and break barriers that once seemed impossible. Youth and women's month reminds us that empowering women and youth leadership is not charity or favour but an investment in a stronger and more just world.

This piece was produced by our Graduate Grace Mabo who is on scholarship studying at Informations and Communications University in Lusaka. When our own "children" grow up and use their voices to speak against injustice, our hearts fill with pride. Starting in grade 8 we discuss social issues like violence, diversity, and equality. May these future leaders continue raising their voices for the voiceless! May all women and children be safe.

Our "soft launch" of our Feminist Leadership Conference series happens this Thursday, beginning with an in-house session. Through this series which will soon be open to the greater community, we will workshop the principles of Feminist Leadership, share herstories of Feminist Leaders, and forge action plans together founded on compassion, courage, and responsible and transparent use of power. In times like these where male dominated leadership is failing the world, we need to envision and embolden more beautiful futures! Check out our slide deck for a sneak peek here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10BPIAd23atRKk-CZqkx5_4Ue5SF0-fEi/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113503766904373235414&rtpof=true&sd=true
