15andCounting is a campaign co-ordinated by the International Planned

Parenthood Federation to raise awareness of the rights and needs of young people

throughout the 15th anniversary year of the landmark International Conference on

Population and Development (1994).

* 15andCounting is a campaign to demand better access to sexual

health services and education for everyone, regardless of your age, gender or

where you live.

* 15andCounting is connecting young people around the world to work

together for better access to sexual health services and information.

* 15andCounting encourages open and honest discussion to persuade

governments to get serious about young people’s health and wellbeing.

Sign the petition and make your voice heard

Please join the campaign and get involved.

We want you to sign the 15 and Counting petition that will be presented to the

Secretary-General of the United Nations to persuade governments to promote,

protect and fulfil their promise to provide better access to sexual and

reproductive health services for all young people.

And if you want to do more, you might find the Resource Kit useful in terms of

advocating for your rights at the national, regional and international levels.

This kit can be found on the 15andCounting website (currently in

English) and will soon be available in Arabic, French and Spanish. Hard copies

will also be available from on request.
