Workshop and training on accelerating HIV and STIs prevention for young people from key populations in Asia and the Pacific

Last September 24 to 26, 2024, YVC attended a 3-day workshop organized by Youth-led in partnership with UNAIDS Asia-Pacific (AP) and WHO Asia-Pacific (AP). The workshop focused on enhancing HIV and STI prevention among young key populations (YKP) through promoting understanding, developing action plans, and empowering youth-led initiatives. Representatives from youth leaders, government, UNAIDS, and WHO from 10 different countries participated.

By the end of the workshop, participants had developed actionable plans to enhance HIV and STI prevention strategies, fostered stronger partnerships, and empowered youth leaders to take an active role in their communities. The event underscored the importance of youth-led initiatives in achieving sustainable health outcomes and highlighted the collective commitment to improving the health and well-being of young key populations across the Asia-Pacific region.
