ARROW WAS PART OF NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND GLOBAL ADVOCACY SPACES FROM JANUARY TO DECEMBER IN 2024. IN EVERY SPACE ARROW MADE STATEMENTS AND INTERVENTIONS AS WELL AS PROVIDED TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO OUR PARTNERS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL. THROUGH THE EVIDENCE BASED ADVOCACY YEAR-ROUND ARROW ENSURED THAT SRHR WAS ON THE AGENDA IN EACH OF THESE SPACES. YOUNG PEOPLE'S ORGANIZING IN THE REGION ALSO PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN OUR STRATEGY TO ENSURE DIVERSE VOICES ARE REPRESENTED IN ALL SPACES. SOME SIGNIFICANT ARROW ACTIONS ARE PRESENTED (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)IN THIS NARRATIVE. THE CONVENINGS WE WERE PART OF IN 2024 INCLUDED THE REGIONAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE REVIEW OF 30 YEARS OF BEIJING PLATFORM FOR ACTION, IN THE ASIA AND THE PACIFIC REGION. ARROW CO-CHAIRED REGIONAL BEIJING PLATFORM FOR ACTION STEERING COMMITTEE, AND PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN CONVENING THE CSO SPACE THROUGH ENGAGEMENT OF CSOS FROM THE REGION IN THE MULTI STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUES PRIOR TO REVIEW OF BEIJING INTER-GOVERNMENTAL PROCESS. THIS WAS A YEARLONG ENGAGEMENT THAT CULMINATED INTO CSO STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUES FOLLOWED BY CSO AND YOUTH FORUM PRIOR TO BEIJING REVIEW-ASIA-PACIFIC REGIONAL REVIEW OF THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEIJING DECLARATION AND PLATFORM FOR ACTION (19-21ST NOV).WHILST THIS WAS PART OF ARROW KEY STRATEGY OF MONITORING INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENTS PERTAINING TO WOMEN HEALTH, WHICH SERVES AS A CORNERSTONE OF ACCOUNTABILITY. ARROW ALSO ENGAGED IN THE FUTURISTIC REGIONAL AND GLOBAL NORM SETTING AGENDA, WITH OUR ACTIVE CONVENING OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGIONAL CONVENING AHEAD OF THE SUMMIT OF THE FUTURE: YOUNG PEOPLE AT THE FOREFRONT ENGAGEMENTS (AUGUST - SEPTEMBER) AND ENGAGEMENT AT THE UN CIVIL SOCIETY CONFERENCE, 10-11 MAY, WHERE WE ENSURED SRHR WAS UPHELD.IN ADDITION, ARROW ALSO ORGANIZED THE ANNUAL APFSD YOUTH FORUM AHEAD OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL FORA (20-23 FEB), WHICH ENGAGED, 450 OF YOUTH PARTICIPANTS FROM 36 COUNTRIES AND DEVELOPED 24 OF CALL TO ACTIONS AT COUNTRY AND SUB-REGIONAL LEVEL ON THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA.

THE SAIGE ALLIANCE THAT ARROW CO-CREATED WHICH UPHOLDS THE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH, HAS ALIGNED ITS ACTIVITIES UNDER THE THEME OF "TOWARDS AN INTERSECTIONAL AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE BASED APPROACH TO SAFE ABORTION ADVOCACY: CENTERING THE MARGINS". WHILE THE COLLECTIVE GREW FROM 221 TO 264 MEMBERS BY THE END OF 2024 (94 ORGANIZATIONS AND 170 INDIVIDUALS) THE EXISTING MEMBERSHIP WAS ALSO FURTHER CONSOLIDATED AND STRENGTHENED BY VARIOUS INTERVENTIONS, ENGAGEMENTS AND PARTICIPATORY STRATEGIES THAT STARTED CULTIVATING A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP BY MEMBERS OF THE SAIGE PLATFORM. IN TERMS OF EVIDENCE BASED WORK, THE WORK OF REPRODUCTIVE LIFE HERSTORIES: TRACKING DISCRIMINATIONS AMONGST MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES USING INTERSECTIONAL APPROACHES TOWARDS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE WAS CRUCIAL. IN KEEPING WITH THE PILOT RESEARCH PROJECT STARTED LAST YEAR TO DOCUMENT THE REPRODUCTIVE LIFE STORIES OF WOMEN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN ALL THEIR DIVERSITIES, PARTICULARLY THOSE FROM MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, ARROW EXPANDED THE REACH OF THE PROJECT THIS YEAR, ENGAGING 9 PARTNERS ACROSS 6 COUNTRIES.

YOUNG SCHOLARS ENGAGED IN KEY ADVOCACY SPACES AT REGIONAL AND GLOBAL LEVELS AND ACTIVELY STRATEGIZED TO ADVANCE SRHR IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTEXTS.
