How can we turn health into a space of equality, dignity, and care?
In Palermo, youth workers from Italy, Spain, Croatia, Greece, Poland, and Portugal came together for #Remedies, an international training experience dedicated to promoting gender equity and intersectionality.
During the training, the group explored mental, physical, sexual, and emotional well-being from a human rights-based perspective, asking what it means to promote the right to health from the ground up: starting from communities, lived experiences, mutual care, and active citizenship.
How do gender, class, race, age, sexual orientation, disability, and migration background affect access to well-being? What shared responsibilities do we have towards other people living in the European Union when we talk about sexual and emotional rights? How can we claim health as a right while continuing to respect our own boundaries and take care of ourselves? These were some of the most urgent questions that guided the journey.
Remedies was a space for dialogue, exchange, and learning, designed to strengthen the role of youth workers as promoters of equality, dignity, and rights within their communities.
