While youth- and survivor-led efforts gained traction, institutional mistrust, traditional remedies, and misinformation remained significant challenges.
Trends
1. Sexual violence & justice gaps: High engagement followed rape and defilement cases in South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, with calls for legal reform and survivor support.
2. Menstrual and mental health: Narratives highlighted dignity, male engagement, policy advocacy, and emotional well-being, with strong momentum in Uganda, Zambia, and Kenya.
3. Disease prevention: STI and HIV prevention posts promoted PrEP, condom use, and clinical education; however, traditional remedies and funding cuts raised concerns.
