Sexual and reproductive health, rights and services (SRHR) are important for everyone. Adolescent girls often suffer from a lack of sexual and reproductive rights through inadequate access to information, services and care, but women and young girls of childbearing age are generally more vulnerable to sexual assaults and reproductive ill-health. This is exacerbated in situations of conflict when women are exposed to increased levels of violence, lack of security and poor access to safe medical health service. YDF has over the years championed the calls for fostering social accountability in public service delivery in health and education.

The mission of YDF is to make young people understand the important role they can play in reducing inequality by participating in developmental activities.
