Adolescents and young people frequently demand full and equal inclusion in the decisions that affect them by stating, “Nothing for us, without us.” The right to be involved in decision-making is enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. In Eswatini, UNICEF advanced this right by supporting adolescents and young people to contribute their experiences and perspectives to the national HIV response.
