Advocates for Youth
Advocates for Youth is a nonprofit organization and advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., USA, dedicated to sexuality education, the prevention of HIV and of sexually transmitted disease, teenage pregnancy prevention, youth access to condoms and contraception (including emergency contraception), equality for LGBT youth, and youth participation. In addition, Advocates for Youth sponsors media campaigns and other forms of outreach which attempt to change societal norms to be more understanding of, accepting, of, and responsible about youth sexuality.〔(Advocates for Youth's official website )〕
Advocates for Youth has both domestic and international programs, and creates and funds programs as well as lobbying for policies, including the Responsible Education About Life Act. Among their work is the preparation of educational materials - for example, a publicity kit encouraging parents to talk to their children about HIV prevention - under contract from government bodies such as the Center for Disease Control.
== Mission and vision ==
Advocates for Youth's mission reads: "Advocates for Youth champions efforts to help young people make informed and responsible decisions about their reproductive and sexual health. Advocates believes it can best serve the field by boldly advocating for a more positive and realistic approach to adolescent sexual health."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission )〕
The organization also has a vision that is described in terms of its core values, the "3Rs." Those three Rs are rights (to accurate and complete sexual health information, confidential reproductive and sexual health services, and a secure stake in the future), respect (for youth by involving them in all aspects of programs that affect them), and responsibility (to provide youth with tools to safeguard sexual health, and for youth to protect themselves from pregnancy and STIs).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vision )〕 These values come from the observations of participants on an annual study tour in France, Germany, and the Netherlands that Advocates for Youth conducts to investigate reasons for better sexual health outcomes in those countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Vision: Rights. Respect. Responsibility. )〕
