Advocates for Youth works to educate Members of Congress about the impact of U.S. foreign policy on young people worldwide. U.S. foreign policy affects access to reproductive and sexual health information and services for millions of young people living in low- and middle-income countries.

The key components of Advocates’ International legislative strategy are to:

• Invest in Evidence-Based HIV Prevention Programs
• Dismantle the Harmful Abstinence-Until-Marriage Requirements in the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
• Increase Funding for International Family Planning
• Eliminate Discriminatory Policies Toward Global LGBT Youth
• Encourage Global Youth Leadership
