What are the greatest challenges to youth health and rights?
Women and children are citizens in any given community, yet they are subject to being subservient to men and are usually grossly ignored health-wise and otherwise. Women around me are forced into sex and keeping unwanted pregnancies which result, and are often denied access to reproductive health in general. This invariably results in massive rates of mortality from illegal abortions and maternal mortality. There is also a high incidence of HIV from cases of females forced to have unwanted sex. |

What are the greatest challenges to women's and young people's health and rights?
Women's empowerment and the fight against gender inequality. It's a challenge for women to have their rights respected and to have their decisions taken into consideration. Women's rights are only respected after a battle. Women are fighting daily for the recognition of their rights as citizens as a given, not a favor. This is just one of the many types of sexism that women face. |

What are the greatest challenges to women's and young people's health and rights?
One of the biggest challenges is the lack of women in decision-making roles. Men alone are not able to make policy and generate sustainable positive change for women; it is not appropriate, and it is not acceptable. Governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international organizations need to ensure women's participation at all levels. Women also need to work together to support and empower each other. |

What are the greatest challenges to women's and young people's health and rights?
One of the greatest challenges to youth health and rights is
ignorance. Youth are not aware of their rights, and are therefore
unable to act upon them. Discrimination is another challenge to youth,
whose opinions are not respected. This further silences youth by
causing low self-esteem.

What are the greatest challenges to women's and young people's health and rights?
I think that one of the primary challenges we face is, first, to be identified as being entitled to rights. We are generally identified only as girls, but we're not...we are a bit older, yet we're not given the liberties that are afforded to adults. Although it seems like something simple, designating us as young women is a substantial step toward improving our rights and ensuring good health. |

The greatest challenges that women and girls face in Kenya are a lack of education and female circumcision. Also, most women and girls are given to marriage forcefully, and without their husbands having had an HIV test. As a result, most women end up being infected with HIV/AIDS. |

What are the greatest challenges to women's and young people's health and rights?
The greatest challenge we face is simply that we do not get sufficient information on our rights, and we do not have the opportunity to "get involved" to access that information. For this reason, we do not have knowledge about what are our rights are and how we can use them. People do not give their trust to us young women to get involved significantly in the process of decision-making. |

Cultural norms that underpin discriminatory attitudes towards women. Violence against women is accepted in society, and higher authorities are reluctant to take action when it comes to the abuse of women. Women also face discrimination when accessing work. |
