DonateYoung People Committed to Sexual Rights and Health
On June 6 and 7, young people from Tunisia and Vietnam met online as part of the Program to Support Sexual and Reproductive Rights and Health (PADSSR). Organized by the Tunisian Forum for Youth Empowerment (TFYE) and BATIK Vietnam, this intercultural exchange seminar allowed participants·to share their experiences and learn about initiatives in their countries promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Sharing Experiences to Take Action Together
Over the course of two days, the young people presented the micro-projects they are developing at their universities and in their communities to raise awareness among their peers. These exchanges provided a better understanding of the realities in each country, but also revealed that the challenges faced are often similar: combating taboos, promoting access to reliable information, and encouraging young people to become agents of change.
Beyond the presentations, this meeting was marked by a genuine curiosity to learn from one another. Despite the distance, the participants shared their experiences, exchanged perspectives, and jointly explored new avenues for action.
“I was also very happy to be able to talk with young Tunisians and learn from their experiences. [...] I enjoyed discovering the energy and ideas brought by the students from other Vietnamese universities participating in the project. »
Intercultural Dialogue at the Heart of the PADSSR
By creating opportunities for young people from different countries to meet, PADSSR promotes the sharing of experiences and mutual learning. These exchanges strengthen their commitment and help them realize that issues related to sexual and reproductive health and rights transcend national borders.
BATIK International would like to thank all the young participants, the TFYE and BATIK Vietnam teams, the speakers, and the translators for their dedication throughout these two days.
