The COVID-19 pandemic poses a health, humanitarian and economic crisis, with a long-term projected impact, especially for young people who make up 25.2% of the population in Colombia. This issue is exacerbated by multiple or overlapping inequalities, such as ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, age, geographic location, sexual orientation, among others.For this reason, Profamilia, in alliance with Panership Maternal Newborn and Child Health, conducted a brief assessment of the challenges, services, and practices to overcome these challenges with 23 teenagers aged 15-19 and women aged 20-29. The objective of the research was to assess the needs, experiences, and resilient practices of teenagers and young women during the COVID19 crisis in Colombia, to substantiate promotional activities and key policy responses with specific relevance to women, teenagers, and young people. The analysis of these experiences has produced evidence that allows for the creation of useful recommendations for advocacy in health and other issues relevant to young people. Such recommendations will facilitate their empowerment for the promotion of accountability processes and citizenship social control in the future |
