On International Youth Day, read about the challenges young people are facing in the context of the HIV epidemic and their call to be involved in global decision making.
Our Time To Be Heard is a collection of stories published by Key Correspondents highlighting the current challenges that young people are facing in the context of the HIV epidemic.
The stories were commissioned by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance to help increase attention to the voices of young people in relation to adolescent health in the post 2015 development agenda.
Cédric Nininahazwe, executive director of the Burundian National Network of young people living with HIV, says: “While the debate on the post 2015 development agenda is still alive and kicking, it is vital that we champion the needs of adolescents, in particular those living with or most at risk of HIV.
“Don’t take the place of adolescents and young people in decision-making, but listen to us and support us, and together we will end AIDS.”
Our Time To Be Heard is free to download and individuals or organisations are encouraged to use it in their advocacy work to help end adolescent AIDS.
