Medicus Mundi Schweiz Young people face considerable challenges in addressing their SRHR needs, encompassing prevention of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, early marriage, and sexual coercion and violence. In many countries in the global South there is an overarching issue exacerbating these SRHR challenges which is the lack of solutions tailored to the youth's unique needs and societal contexts. The MMS SRHR Conference 2024 explored what kind of locally led and low cost innovations are in place to reach young people, who are the drivers of such projects and initiatives and how can these locally led innovations be scaled up.
