Tinotenda lives in Hopley, a suburb of Harare where the Women Advocacy Project (WAP) works. She married at age 17, after discovering that she was pregnant. “My boyfriend was the one who told me that I was pregnant, I didn’t know about those things then,” Tinotenda told WAP. When her father learned of the pregnancy, he threw her out of the house.
Now at age 37, Tinotenda has 5 children. Zimbabwe’s unemployment rate is currently over 80% and like many of the women WAP works with, she is not working. “Before I got pregnant, I just wanted to go to school, support my family and my mother. Now I want to work so I can send my children to school. I don’t want them to lack knowledge.”

Young people make up nearly one-quarter of the world’s population, the largest population of youth in history. They are a generation characterized by opportunity, technology, and innovation with the potential and passion to create enormous social change through unprecedented participation, connection, and leadership. However, youth are also highly vulnerable to violations of their rights and disproportionately impacted by devastating health and social problems, including unintended pregnancy, maternal mortality, HIV/AIDS, and early and forced marriage.
Investing in the health and human rights of young people will be key to achieving the goals and objectives set out by USAID and other donors to tackle the challenges faced by young people around the world. Panelists will discuss how addressing the diverse needs of today’s young people is critical to achieving broader global health and development goals; how young people are currently impacted by these issues; and the role that governments, donors, and other partners play in working with young people to ensure their health and rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled.
