Levels! Botlhale Boikanyo Bags A Major Appointment at UNFPA
Levels! Botlhale Boikanyo Bags A Major Appointment at UNFPA. Congratulations are in order to Botlhale Boikanyo, who is shinning with a new appointment. She has just joined the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) as the Regional ICPD Youth Champion for East and Southern Africa.
As Regional ICPD Youth Champion, Botlhale will work alongside UNFPA to amplify the voices of young people across East and Southern Africa and advocate for accelerated action towards achieving the commitments of the ICPD Programme of Action. She will support efforts to advance bodily autonomy, gender equality, access to quality sexual and reproductive health services, and meaningful youth participation in decision-making processes.
“What a full circle moment🥺🤍
I’m deeply honoured to share that I have been appointed as UNFPA’s Regional ICPD Youth Champion for East and Southern Africa
As I reflect on this moment, I can’t help but think about the little girl who first discovered her voice through poetry. She could never have imagined that one day, that same voice would become a platform to serve, advocate and amplify the voices of young people across an entire region
This appointment is a commitment to continue using storytelling to amplify the voices, dreams and lived experiences of young people, and to champion a future where every young person, especially women and girls has the freedom, opportunities and support to shape their own future
Together with UNFPA, I look forward to engaging with young people across East and Southern Africa, learning from their lived experiences, advocating for meaningful youth participation, and championing the rights, dignity, bodily autonomy and potential of our generation
Let’s keep building together,” Botlhale said.
