Program Contribution to Terre des Hommes Schweiz 2019 - 2020
Youth, especially girls, are far more exposed to missing out economic opportunities, gender based violence and HIV-Aids than adults. TdH Schweiz promotes social participation of young people in nine countries in Africa and Central and South America, with a specific focus on prevention of violence, promotion of income opportunities and improving the reproductive health of youth. With its combined approach, involving individuals, communities and institutions it reaches out to over 190000 peers and some 2000 institutions.

Contexte | Currently, out of the 1.8 billion youth worldwide, 400 million grow up in conflict areas or are subject to various forms of violence. Youth unemployment rates are increasing, with significant regional differences and adverse consequences such as poverty, migration and diseases (e.g. HIV-AIDS prevalence). History and presence of violence in Central and South America puts young people at risk to become victims of or involved in criminal activities. Young women particularly face extremely high unemployment rates. Africa’s relatively young population (about 40 percent of its population is estimated to be below 15 years of age), combined with the continent’s high fertility rate, is likely to magnify the so-called youth bulge. This trend could have positive consequences for development, if properly channelled. |
Objectifs |
TdH Schweiz has the vision of a world where vulnerable young people can develop autonomously and fully participate in society. Therefore it strengthens resilience of young people exposed to (gender based) violence (GBV), HIV/Aids, and poverty. It empowers youth to participate in decision making process regarding their political, social and economic rights and interests. |
