Art for Advocacy: “Empowering Youth in Sexual and Reproductive Health”
In a world where youth voices are often marginalized, it’s crucial to create platforms that amplify their perspectives, particularly in sexual and reproductive health and rights-justice (SRHRJ). The Global Roadmap for Action (GRA), in collaboration with FP2030, PMNCH, Population Council, and the William H. Gates Sr. Institute, invites youth artists globally to the “Art for Advocacy: Empowering Youth in Sexual and Reproductive Health” art gallery and contest.
This event will showcase visual art pieces exclusively by youth. Selected artworks will be featured at the UNGA in NYC and the Youth Summit at ICFP 2025, providing a powerful platform to connect youth stories with influential stakeholders. Submit your masterpiece (due 1 September) to help amplify youth voices and advance SRHR. We look forward to highlighting your impactful work.

Hosted by Population Council’s Girl Innovation, Research, and Learning Center and Gender, Education, Justice, and Equity Hub, alongside Equal Measures 2030 and UNICEF, this hands-on, interactive event offers an opportunity for all stakeholders to:
