Network Advocacy for Youth Empowerment Sierra Leone (NAYE-SL)

Network Advocacy for Youth Empowerment Sierra Leone (NAYE-SL) Founded in 2015, Network of Advocacy for Youth Empowerment (NAYE), formerly called Student Partnership for Children and Youth Development, is a national NGO aimed at reducing teenage pregnancy, sexual and gender based violence, as well as exploitation. They use their safe spaces to build up the knowledge and confidence of girls on how they can resist and push back on the multiple ways that a system of unequal gender and power limits their life chances and opportunities to reach for their dreams. NAYE also provides adolescent girls with information so that they can protect themselves fromsexually transmitted diseases like HV/AIDS and prevent pregnancy so that early motherhood does not keep them locked into the cycle of poverty.
