About the YCSRR
The Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (YCSRR) is an international
organization of young people (ages 18-29 years) committed to promoting adolescent and
youth sexual and reproductive health and rights at the national, regional and international
levels. We are volunteers from all over the world, with a small team of staff based in Ottawa to support us in this mandate. We are students, researchers, lawyers, health care
professionals, educators, development workers, and most importantly, we are all dedicated activists.
Together, we work to ensure that the sexual and reproductive rights of all young people are respected, guaranteed and promoted, and strive to secure the meaningful participation of young people in decision-making that affects the lives of young people and adolescents. We do this through advocating, generating knowledge, sharing information, building partnerships, and training young activists.
