Green MEPs show their support for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the EU before a vote to ensure these are prioritised and promoted.
SRHR are core EU values and central to efforts to promote gender equality. In spite of this, these rights coming under increasing pressure in some EU member states. Against this background, MEPs will tomorrow adopt a report looking at the situation in the EU and looking for a common EU approach to ensure SRHR are prioritised and promoted. With higher rates of maternal mortality and teenage birth persisting in some EU member states, it is clear that more needs to be done to promote best practise in the EU.
In schools near Mozambique’s southern migration corridors, students are taking the lead in building a healthier, more informed and resilient generation. Through the Knows No Borders (KNB) Programme, a regional initiative spanning six countries, IOM supports communities navigating complex mobility dynamics to strengthen sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The programme focuses on people of all genders, including migrants, young people, LGBTI individuals, and other groups in border and trade corridor areas who often face overlapping vulnerabilities, particularly in times of crisis. In Mozambique, this work is rooted in classrooms and community spaces where young people are shaping the conversation around their health and rights.
At the heart of this approach is peer-led education. Trained students, known as change agents, facilitate discussions through interactive methods such as participatory theatre, radio listening groups, and round tables. They explore sensitive topics—from menstrual hygiene and puberty to gender-based violence, HIV prevention, substances abuse and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support—with clarity and respect. Alongside these sessions, a private “cantinho” or safe space staffed by a full-time counsellor ensures access to confidential support and referrals to youth-friendly health services.
A dedicated psychologist also engages with students weekly, offering tailored guidance on SRHR and well-being. Importantly, many young people remain active in the programme after graduation, continuing their role as change agents within their communities.
The initiative is already contributing to measurable shifts, including reductions in teenage pregnancies and school dropouts. These outcomes reflect not only the relevance of the programme but the commitment of students, teachers, and local partners who shape and sustain it.
By investing in young people as educators and advocates, the KNB Programme supports lasting, community-driven behavior change, across borders and beyond barriers.

In 2000, Political Research Associates published Defending Reproductive Rights, an activist resource kit on the anti-abortion movement, by collecting the Right’s own words to demystify the motives and worldviews of those who campaign against progressive causes.
