The Power of Youth in Shaping Health and Gender Equity

Introduction

Nepal’s youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow — they are driving change today. My involvement in the Youth Leadership Towards Gender Justice in Nepal Project, funded by ARROW, Malaysia, showed me how young voices can reshape policies and systems.

What We Discovered

• Young leaders are innovative problem-solvers.
• Addressing gender disparities early ensures better health outcomes.
• Community-driven initiatives have long-lasting impact.

Why Youth Matter

By equipping youth with knowledge, skills, and platforms, we enable them to:

• Challenge harmful social norms.
• Lead health interventions in their communities.
• Influence policy discussions on equity and justice.

Conclusion

Youth-led health initiatives are not optional; they are essential for creating a fair, inclusive, and healthy society.
