Human rights are entitlements due to every human being by virtue of being human and thus defining and understanding sexual and reproductive rights becomes less cumbersome. In other words, because we are human, each and every one of us is entitled to enjoy these rights. Human rights vary and come in different forms namely civil & political rights, economic rights, cultural rights amongst others. Sexual and reproductive rights,therefore, can be said to refer to those entitlements due to every human being by virtue of being human which relate to the sexuality and reproduction of the person. Just like all other human rights, sexual and reproductive rights should be universal, inalienable and indivisible. Youth participation and involvement in the endeavour for sexual and reproductive rights can best be safeguarded via embrace of positive youth development as a foundational concept.
