Youth Action for Success and Development, YASD is the runner for the 2022 Adolescent Activism award. YASD won this award under the category of SRHR and Environmental conservation. The organisation is currently implementing an initiative to link SRHR and climate change. It recognises that the unmet needs of Sexual and Reproductive health and rights are a core for climate change. On the other hand, the climate crisis hardly affects the availability and accessibility of SRHR services and commodities at the same time, increases gender inequalities.
