No SRHR without HIV Services: Championing Integrated Youth-Friendly HIV Service
Happy International human rights day! Today marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. On this special day, we want to call your attention to one of the most fundamental rights: the right to health. At CHOICE for Youth and Sexuality (CHOICE), we believe that young people deserve a healthy and happy future.
