He teaches at a school where students face pregnancy and motherhood while trying to continue their education. • Sexual and reproductive health access for adolescents and young girls • How cultural norms and health policy exclude young people from care • Gender-based violence prevention in health settings • Bridging the gap between teaching equity and practising it • Real barriers to implementing equitable healthcare on the ground Acha's work shows why health workers need training that goes beyond ideals—they need practical tools to navigate complex cultural and policy landscapes while keeping young people's health and dignity at the center.
