Advocates for Youth partners with youth leaders, adult allies, and youth-serving organizations to advocate for policies and champion programs that recognize young people€s rights to honest sexual health information; accessible, confidential, and affordable sexual health services; and the resources and opportunities necessary to create sexual health equity for all youth.
As of 2010, there were over 2.1 million American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) under the age of 24 living in the U.S.
"Through movements like Break the Silence, we can empower youth to heal from the physical and emotional wounds of sexual abuse and rehabilitate our Native communities to a state of resilience. With something as simple as a water balloon, we can rehabilitate, educate, and inspire cultural change."
