Access to healthcare and sexual education is crucial for the well-being of young individuals, particularly refugees. Unfortunately, many young refugees in settlements lack essential knowledge and resources related to sexual health, HIV prevention, and general healthcare. This lack is not just a matter of limited information but also a reflection of the broader challenges faced in accessing appropriate healthcare facilities and services. In refugee settlements, the availability of public health services is often scarce, and when available, they may not be adequately equipped to address specific needs related to sexual health and HIV prevention. Clean and safe facilities, comprehensive sexual education, and access to contraceptives and HIV prevention tools are often limited or non-existent. This reality leaves young refugees vulnerable, not only to health risks but also to the psychosocial impacts of such vulnerabilities. Moreover, the transient and often precarious nature of refugee life can lead to a discontinuity in healthcare and a lack of consistent and reliable medical support. Young refugees may miss out on critical health education and services, including HIV testing and counseling, contraceptive access, and guidance on safe practices. The high risk of HIV infection among these young refugees and the subsequent impact on their health and well-being is a stark indicator of the need for targeted, comprehensive, and accessible healthcare solutions.
