UNFPA's Gender, Human Rights and Culture Branch in Technical Division together with Women Enabled International collaborated with the UNFPA East and Southern Africa Regional Office to disseminate the Global Study on Youth with Disabilities and roll out the Guidelines in Johannesburg, South Africa, from  21-23 May 2019.

Young people in Uganda are experiencing a pushback and backlash regarding their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), particularly in regards to sexuality education, contraception and gender equality. This indicates the often-politicized nature of SRHR and young people’s health.

UNFPA East and Southern Africa Regional Office organized a conversation on 'What's Changed?' for people living with disabilities, in terms of their sexual and reproductive health, since the ground-breaking 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt.
