@YouthConfWarks @WarksCSE @CyberSafeWarks @WCCPublicHealth @cwmind @wcc_schools @SchoolHealthC4H Looks super exciting!!! We would love to be a part of this, mainly for our learning, as we prepare to host the 6th African #child & #youth @REPSSI @PSSForum in 2021 in Mozambique. May we connect?🙂

[Children and HIV @childrenandHIV]

Together, we can create an #AIDSFreeGeneration. But we can’t do it alone – and we can’t do it without young people. #MeetTheChangemakers working with @egpaf to ensure that young boys and girls are empowered and educated: https://t.co/zScXGrKb7n #WorldAIDSDay

[APSSI @APSSInstitute]

There is significant value in having #young people take responsibility for their own wellbeing, taking on the role of #Changemakers. @REPSSI also prides itself in ensuring inclusion of #young people and #children in discussions and deliberations affecting them #PSS4ALL

[APSSI @APSSInstitute]

@REPSSI @EGPAF_Africa @EGPAF "Young people must be at the center of the solution. To ensure that youth voices are heard, we must include them in the discussion." @REPSSI actively ensures #inclusion of #children & #young people in issues that affect them to get a more holistic intervention

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA @FLON_Namibia is intently listening to young people from Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Eswatini, and South Africa as they are sharing the country specific issues that young are people facing. #BeFreeMovement #PSSFORUM

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA @FLON_Namibia is reiterating the value of inter-generational dialogue. Dialogue is key to bridging gaps and bringing people together. These values underpin the work of the #BeFree Movement.

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA In addressing GBV in a community with generally high levels of violence, we should not use violence as a form of communication whilst being conscious that violence does not discriminate. #BeFree @PSSForum @EGPAF_Africa

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA We tend to judge girls for getting pregnant, while covering up for the men who impregnate them and holding them in high regard though they prey on young girls. Any system that results in the harm of young children should not be tolerated. #BeFree @PSSForum

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA In order to deal with issues such as child marriage, we need to get into the underlining drivers, educate the girls, parents, the leaders, and the communities that condone them. #BeFree @PSSForum

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA Violence is like a virus, its contagious. Prevention therefore is better than cure. Provide psycho-social support, information, and deescalation techniques. #BeFree @PSSForum

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

@PSSForum @EGPAF @EGPAF_Africa @OAFLA The consequential Child Care and Protection Act. 3 of 2015 puts the responsibility on everyone to report child abuse including; teachers, nurses, lawyers, and anyone who suspects that a child is being abused as they can be held legally liable for not reporting. #BeFree @PSSForum

[VSO People @VSOPeople]

Nothing for us without us is not for us!! this was the mantra by the youth that were at the just ended @PSSForum @REPSSI
