This #InternationalYouthDay2026, we celebrate young people who are challenging stigma, breaking barriers and transforming the realities of their communities.
From advancing menstrual justice to youth leadership and grassroots advocacy, young people are not waiting for change to happen; they are creating it.
We believe every young person deserves the knowledge, resources, safe spaces and opportunities to live and menstruate with dignity.
Today, we commit to building systems where young people are not simply included but trusted, empowered and at the centre of change.

Through a Menstrual Justice Academy alumni project led by @wabibipads at Moroto High School, more learners now have trusted peers to turn to for menstrual health information and support. A growing culture of openness is helping to break stigma, while both girls and boys are championing menstrual justice and creating a more inclusive, period-friendly school environment.
With emergency reusable menstrual products now available at school, girls are better supported to stay in class and continue learning with confidence when their periods begin unexpectedly.
This is what happens when young leaders are empowered to champion menstrual justice in their communities. @FJS
