Problem Addresses
It is highly challenging for Burmese young people to access accurate information about sexual and reproductive health, or any issues related to gender-based violence, given the private and taboo nature of these issues and realities in Myanmar.
A recent UNFPA report highlights that adolescents and youth are trending toward online platforms via mobile phone apps in large numbers to access information that is health and news-related.
Solution and its innovative element
In this context, the UNFPA has partnered with 360ed to develop the BayKin 2 app to provide pre-adolescents and their families with a means to access accurate information as they orient themselves and navigate through physical and social developmental stages.
Baykin 2 additionally seeks to equip these young adults with knowledge and tools to be aware of and thus less vulnerable to gender-based violence.
Visualizing Outcomes
