Publications

YouAct both leads on and partners with other organisations in the field to develop publications and information resources focusing on young people and SRHR.

Our recently published Charter: SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE A Rights-Based Perspective, was the result of a 2008 Study Session for youth advocates organised by YouAct, in cooperation with the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe.
