They have helped schools rehabilitate toilets and some have been able to set special rooms for a girlchild to change their pads,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Anitha Samson, a legal officer at Wadada Solution on Gender-Based Violence admits that the education being offered by the youth will help change people\u2019s mindset towards improving sexual and reproductive health rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf more youth are reached out we can together end early child marriage, unplanned child pregnancies and diseases,\u201d she said, adding: \u201cThe children will be able to perform well in their classroom activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the youth champions, Raphael Denis of the Dar es Salaam based Binti Salha Foundation said youth have a key role to play in the development of the nation through engaging productively in social and economic activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: SYLIVESTER DOMASA\u00a0\u00a0 AfricaPress-Tanzania:\u00a0 RIGHTS groups are working with the government to develop guidelines that will help promote sexual and reproductive health rights of persons living with disabilities (PLWD) in the country.
