In a broader analysis, the missing ingredient in the youthSRHR advocacy has always been lack of adequate information through sensitization and awareness. The ultimate result of this lapse is the making of uninformed sexual choices by youths that culminate to blood-bed consequences.. In the recent interventions, biomedical interventions have taken center stage leaving behavioral change intervention, which is primarily key, at the mercy of peril. Statistically, youths will go for services but will not consider practicing safe sex or put into consideration on the use of Contraceptives to prevent them from Unwanted Pregnancies and STIS

It is always perceived that the youthful society believes in the present with less regards to what the future holds for them. Primarily, this is rooted on the fundamental fact that most approaches targeting youth SRHR Interventions have always identified the youths as the beneficiaries and not key players in the same sectors. Youths, just like in any contemporary society in the globe have formed the attitude of influencing change through creative and innovative approaches that they best feel address their challenges that is Participatory able to provide accurate information and Communication with their peers on Myths and Misconceptions Revolving around Contraceptives' In relation to Religion and Retrogressive Cultural Beliefs that has affected the uptake of the Methods of Contraceptives among youths in the Informal Settlement of Kisumu(Manyatta,Nyalenda and Obunga)."Sauti Sanaa"-Voice of Arts Will employ the Use Of Community Participatory Educational Theatre(CPET) and Spoken Word to Create Dialogue with Youths and Experts on The Importance of Uptake on Contraceptives while addressing the myths and misconceptions highlighting the Facts and shedding more light on their functions of Reducing Unintended Pregnacies,STIS and Unsafe Abortion by creating a pool of creative changemakers that will be able to provide authentic communications with Youths through Partnership with County Government and Local Facilities to provide expertise facilitation on the use of Contraceptives' with the quest of capacity Building youths with Information on the same so as to enable them make informed choices on their Sexual Reprodcutive Health and Rights(SRHR) enhancing referral pathways on uptake of contraceptives' among youths in Kisumu.

Performing arts and Media has overtime proved to be one of the key tools in advocacy as it houses two key components. These mechanisms are the educative and entertaining components that go hand in hand to realize flow of information. This approach creates a paradigm shift on perception and attitude which automatically influences mindset change and how people view things. Community Participatory Educational Theatre (PET) and Spoken Word is an educational theater methodology which uses a participatory approach to allow the audience to probe, reflect on and respond to issues which concern them this case being Myths and Misconceptions on Contraceptives. CPET and Spoken Word will be Used In the projects to influence dialogue on Contraceptives that will be carried out in the Informal Settlement communities(Manyatta,Nyalenda and Nyalenda) Kisumu County.
