Abstrakt: Conflict and crises have dire consequences on access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. Over the years, Global and Humanitarian Health actors have developed health policies and guidelines to improve the delivery of health services in emergencies or humanitarian crises. Despite these advancements, the international health response in conflictaffected settings still faces gaps and challenges. This commentary highlights the need for an increasing sensitization as a pillar for sexual and reproductive health and rights' implementation among youths in the ongoing conflict zone in Eastern DR Congo. The eastern part of DRC is living in a situation of armed conflict with an impact on the health system which renders SRH services difficult to access for youths. This has an impact on the health status of the future leaders of this country on achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 3. Sensitization of the community based on the complete sexuality education approach has the potential to positively impact the integration of SRH services in this conflict-affected region. This has an impact on the health status of the future leaders of this country and achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 3. Sensitization of the community based on the complete sexuality education approach has the potential to positively impact the integration of SRH services in this postconflict region.
