Ending the AIDS epidemic for adolescents, with adolescents

This publication provides guidance to programme designers, implementers, policymakers and decision-makers on how to meaningfully engage adolescents in the AIDS response and in broader health programming. It also demonstrates why adolescents and youth are critical in efforts to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

The publication additionally highlights what steps should be taken to implement programmes and policies that improve adolescent health outcomes (including for HIV) at the national, regional and global levels.

In Mongolia, UNFPA holds "Orange Sessions," where artists and young people gather to explore creative new ways to end violence against women. Part of the annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, these sessions have inspired "Orange the World" a song and music video calling for unity in the campaign against gender-based violence.
