The goal of the Rise Young Women’s clubs is to focus on and prioritise support for the rights and activism of young womxn. The clubs create a safe space for girls and young women to collectively advocate for issues that matter to them and affect them.

The clubs are a platform to catalyze a feminist movement by:

• Empowering girls and young womxn to participate in women’s rights advocacy.
• Building strong support systems that strengthens the capacity of girls and young womxn to collectively organise for change.
• Creating a safe space where girls and young womxn can demand access to safe sexual reproductive health services ultimately, preventing HIV, mitigating its impact and enabling safer choices.
• Encouraging intergenerational learning that fosters social connectedness and agency.

By so doing, Rise Young Women’s Clubs are able to:

• Amplify voices and capacities of young women to lead their activism
• Build self-led movements that enable girls and women to fully realise their human rights and live with dignity and self-determination.
