                                                      Caption: Behind the scenes photos of the UK poverty film shoot in Bristol. The children featured in these images are part of a group of teenagers from England who developed a film and creative campaign for Save the Children. The young people are called Aisha, Darcy, Esther, Heather, Maddison, Staci and Stella, they are aged 14 – 17. This group of young people all have experienced poverty. Their short film communicates what it is like to be a young person growing up in poverty in the UK. The process involved a residential workshop in the Peak District – with lots of fun, creative activities to help the young people come up with ideas. The young people pitched their film ideas to Save the Children, who selected their favorite film idea for their UK poverty campaign. A partner organisation called Effervescent helped run the workshops and provided funding for the project from the Big Lottery Foundation. The aim of Save the Children’s campaign is to communicate that poverty holds children back from achieving their potential. The campaign is targeted at audiences in the UK, to help them understand the experience of poverty from a child’s perspective, and how poverty impacts not just individuals but the whole of society. The film will also be used to influence the UK government. The film nods to Save the Children’s interventions – from our early learning packs, to nursery support, and our campaigning on free school meals. The young people’s film was brought to life by Director Paul Holbrook and his team. Paul Holbrook is proudly working-class, he was born and bred on a council estate in the Southwest of Bristol. Much of his work explores issues related to class and poverty. Paul has won many awards. He is passionate about supporting young people to get into the film industry and runs film making sessions with groups of children & young people.

                                                      Save the Children’s Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (ASRHR) programs work with adolescents, families, schools, communities, and health systems to increase the availability, accessibility, and quality of sexual and reproductive health information and services across the adolescent life span. Together with ministries of Education, Health and Social Affairs, Save the Children strengthens the capacity of schools, health service providers, and community organizations to provide comprehensive sexuality education to adolescents and link them to youth-friendly SRH services. This enables adolescents to be better informed about their sexual and reproductive health and rights and thus able to make and act upon informed decisions about their reproduction and sexual activity free from discrimination, coercion, violence, and infection. Save the Children and its partners simultaneously work with communities to become supportive of ASRHR. The organization also implements ASRHR programs in humanitarian settings including acute, protracted crises as well as natural disasters. As a member of the Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) on Reproductive Health in Crises, we work with various International NGOs to provide global technical assistance and advocate for ASRHR services in humanitarian situations. In these crises, Save the Children often provides direct SRH services and works with health providers and youth to increase access and reduce related mortality and morbidity for this vulnerable group.
