Resume

The project aims to strengthen and sustain the youth-led digital SRHRJ movement in the SWANA region. It will equip women, girls, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and young grassroots activists with a sustainable, independent e-learning platform for feminist and queer Arabic sex education. The platform will host an evidence-based CSE curriculum that tackles stigma, shame and misinformation regarding SRHR, empowering young people to make informed decisions and fight for bodily rights. The project will support youth activists with advocacy opportunities to network and advocate for their digital organising. It will strengthen the TST collective by supporting its strategic planning and solidifying its role as a leading feminist and queer actor advancing SRHRJ in Arabic-speaking societies. Overall, the project supports innovative, locally rooted solutions to combat SGBV by centring grassroots youth leadership and providing the infrastructure and tools needed for their model of digital organising.
