Advocates for Youth is a Washington, DC-based organization that empowers young people to advocate for their reproductive and sexual health rights. Through their campaigns, events, and programs, they work to ensure access to comprehensive sex education, contraceptive methods, abortion care, and support for survivors of sexual violence. With a focus on social justice and intersectionality, Advocates for Youth aims to create a more equitable world where young people can lead and make informed decisions about their health and lives.
They collaborate with youth activists and adult allies to fight for LGBTQ rights, end HIV stigma, promote honest sex education, and advocate for reproductive justice. Their initiatives include the #FreethePill Youth Council, which works towards making birth control available over the counter, and the Youth Abortion Support Collective, which helps individuals navigate barriers to abortion care. Advocates for Youth also supports networks like the EC Access Network, the Condom Collective, and Know Your IX, which focus on contraceptive access, sexual violence prevention, and HIV awareness, respectively.
