RNW Media is an organisation that aims at engaging young people – primarily in the digital space – as well as influencing the societies of young people. With innovative approaches to (digital) media and training, we connect communities and change-makers, contributing to a world where young people in restrictive settings confidently claim their rights, assume their place in society, and shape a better future. Our mission is to identify young people’s needs, and to bring young people together in user-owned digital communities where they can safely engage on taboos and sensitive topics and generate strong stories for advocacy to unleash their potential for social change. One of RNW Media’s flagship interventions is Love Matters: a global digital community and network of organisations supporting safe healthy and pleasurable love sex and relationships for young people. The platforms deliver accessible, pleasure-positive, evidence- and rights-based sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information, stories and advice to young people and help them make informed decisions.
