They should have access to evidence based and age appropriate sexuality education, as well as to youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services, so that all young women and men are able to make informed choices to lead a healthy life”, says Esther Tahrir, Founder and Director of GOJoven International & Global Health Leaders, at Public Health Institute (PHI), California, USA, where she also directs global youth engagement and adolescent health projects.
