In Engaging and addressing adult allies, gatekeepers, and stakeholders Erika Dupuis (International Youth Alliance for Family Planning, Canada) & Charlie Andrés Acosta (Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights) led a mini workshop that examined strategies for assessing, engaging and building reciprocal relationships with adult stakeholders in SRHR work. The speakers encouraged youth advocates to draw support from allied stakeholders while remembering to walk away from relationships that no longer serve their work.
“Be unwavering in your values, your ethics, and your mission. Demand for your rightful spot in an organization, in a project, in an initiative, whatever you are doing.” - Erika Dupuis
