This initiative marks a turning point for youth leadership and participation in Bolivia. It aims to scale up local experiences to the national level to confront three interlinked violations of children’s and women’s rights:
Sexual Violence Against Children and Adolescents (SVACA)
Child, Early and Forced Marriage and Unions (CEFMU)
Early, unintended adolescent pregnancy
Save the Children Bolivia has extensive experience in youth empowerment, strong partnerships with civil society and UN agencies, and a proven track record of successful youth-led SHIFT campaigns. Combined with the approval of a new law prohibiting child marriage before the age of 18 in Bolivia.
