Youth Sexual Health

Youth sexual health encompasses the physical, emotional, and social well-being related to sexuality during adolescence. It involves understanding and practicing safe sex, preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and making informed choices about relationships and contraception. Promoting open communication, respectful attitudes, and access to accurate information helps young people develop healthy attitudes toward their sexuality, reduce risks, and foster responsible behavior. It’s important for youth to have supportive environments where they can ask questions, seek guidance, and understand their rights regarding sexual health as they navigate this stage of development.
