Native Youth Sexual Health Network

The Native Youth Sexual Health Network (NYSHN) is an organization by and for Indigenous youth that works across issues of sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice throughout the United States and Canada.

Description

We are the Native Youth Sexual Health Network: a grassroots network of indigenous youth and intergenerational relatives that works across issues around reproductive health, rights and justice.

We are youth led, but value the support of our intergenerational circles of relatives to do our work. Some of our areas of work include HIV/AIDS awareness, culturally safe sex education, #landback advocacy, Midwifery and Birth Justice, as well as Two-Spirit/Gender and Sexuality Education. Our network spans Turtle Island, creating space to engage with everything and anything that we know to affect our bodies, minds and spirits.
