Young
people
shone
at Women
Deliver,
contributing
advocacy
strategies
and tools,
research,
and first-hand
experiences
in what
young
people
need
and want
to support
good
sexual
decision
making. Young
people
spoke
on plenary
panels,
in simultaneous
sessions,
and at
the Speakers’ Corner. The
Youth
Working
Group,
a temporary
coalition
of ten
youth
serving
institutions
representing
every
region
of the
world, developed
a segment
of this
website
to facilitate
youth
involvement
in the
conference,
created fact
sheets
on youth
and maternal
health and
generated
media
around
youth
issues.
At
the
Deliver
for
Youth
Commitments
Desk,
they
gathered
83
written
commitments
from
conference
participants
to
improve
young
people’s
health
and
rights
through
their
work. These
achievements
and
strong
partnerships
are
a
foundation
for
on-going
collaborative
efforts
to
keep
young
people
front
and
center
in
the
maternal
health
movement
not
only
as
vulnerable
people
but
also
as
agents
of
change
who
can
transform
policies,
programming,
and
culture.
