About ‘Young, Wild… and Free?’
‘Young, Wild… and Free?’ is a 2- year project working in four focus countries (Kenya, South Africa, Vietnam and Russia), which commenced in 2019, finding her roots in Bridging the Gaps (2011-2020) – a partnership focusing on a world where sex workers, people who use drugs and msm can enjoy their human rights and access quality HIV prevention, treatment and care. Bridging the Gaps, very successful in addressing taboo topics, in fighting stigma and discrimination and in establishing and increasing access to services where key populations feel safe and respected, has confronted us with topics that remain sensitive, and need urgent and careful address. Meaningful involvement of, and appropriate services for young and adolescent key populations is such a topic.
‘Young, Wild… and Free?’ investigates the constraints young key population members encounter: What is there to learn from the young people that we currently reach with services, and how can we use these learnings to upscale the demand for services and service uptake? What can we learn from some of the best practices in reaching youth? How can we disseminate these practices further and increase the quality of services for young key populations?
By understanding young people’s service needs better, and by directly piloting best practices, ‘Young, Wild… and Free?’ aims to increase the demand for services among young key population members, as well as a greater service uptake and more optimal HIV and SRHR health outcomes.
