Youth Advocacy Resources – Tools to help you improve sexual health and rights in your communities!

These resources have been created to help young people navigate the sometimes tricky task of advocating for better access to sexual health and rights. Lead by Action Canada’s National Youth Advisory Board, and supported by Oxfam Canada’s Stand Up for SRHR project, here are a series of resources (in English and French) that you can read, download, and share in your communities to make sure everyone has the tools they need to advocate for more health care and human rights.

FRENCH: Pitching and Prepping for Media Coverage
Talking to the media can help raise awareness on an issue, gain public support for a cause, or correct the record on mis- and disinformation, especially to people outside of your regular communities.
FRENCH: Is it Covered? Birth Control & Your (Student) Insurance
As a student at a Canadian university or college, you may be automatically enrolled in a student health insurance plan.

This can cover some or all costs for things like medical appointments, medical equipment, dental care, vision care, and prescription drugs – including birth control!
FRENCH: What is an Advocacy Brief?
An advocacy brief is a document that summarizes why an issue is important, key facts and context, and recommendations on how to make the change you want to see happen. This is shared with people in governments, administrations, and/or media to educate them more about an issue and to encourage them to take up your advocacy recommendations.
