They learned from one another and shared knowledge about reproductive health issues and access to reproductive health care. The participants were also enthusiastic about undergoing health screenings and attending an awareness session on Violence Against Women and Children (KtPA). <\/p>\n
One of the most interesting sessions was a talk show that featured young people\u2019s perspectives on their experiences and views regarding reproductive health rights, as well as how they discuss the issue of KtPA in their communities. One of the panelists from the Tenggara Youth Community, Ilta Tafuli, said that young people need to actively spread information and knowledge so that more teenagers can understand this issue. <\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this activity, I hope that teenagers will better understand the importance of taking care of themselves, recognizing boundaries in relationships, and having the courage to speak up when they experience or witness gender-based violence,\u201d said Ilta.<\/p>\n
In addition to youth groups, several local government agencies in TTS Regency\u2014such as the Population Control and Family Planning Agency (DP2KB), the Women\u2019s Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A), the Education Agency, the Health Agency, and the Youth and Sports Agency (Dispora)\u2014also participated in this event. One of the topics discussed was the importance of collaboration and providing safe spaces for young people to protect them from various forms of violence. <\/p>\n
Representatives from DP3A also conducted an awareness-raising session on the prevention and response to KtPA. During the session, DP3A introduced an app that adolescents and the general public can use to report cases of violence or to access information and support services. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Health Department provided malaria screening services, distributed iron supplements, and administered tetanus vaccines to the participants.<\/p>\n
One of the participants, Nora Zaidi from Sunu Village, said that this jamboree equips teenagers with the knowledge and skills to maintain their health, understand life\u2019s values, and become agents of change in their communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the knowledge I\u2019ve gained can be passed on to my peers and the community, so that more and more teenagers can grow up healthy, empowered, and capable of making the right decisions for their future,\u201d said Nora.<\/p>\n
Another participant, Yute Selan, added that this activity not only expands knowledge but also raises awareness about the importance of maintaining good health, valuing oneself, and supporting one another within the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that the enthusiasm and lessons learned can be put into practice and shared with peers, so that more and more teenagers can grow up to be healthy, knowledgeable, and empowered,\u201d said Yute.<\/p>\n
This jamboree is part of the \u201cSahabat Remaja Sehat\u201d project, which is being implemented in seven subdistricts across two regencies (TTS and East Flores) in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The project aims to improve young people\u2019s access to reproductive health information and services, while also strengthening community-level efforts to prevent gender-based violence.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
