• Reproductive Rights and Health: Disseminating accurate, science-based information on reproductive health.
• Digital Advocacy: Utilizing social media and virtual platforms to lead high-impact health campaigns.

To ensure flexibility and wide reach across the North-West, the fellowship adopts a hybrid virtual model. Participants must be committed to the following weekly schedule:
• Instructional Learning: Expert-led virtual sessions held every Saturday and Sunday.
• Advocacy Engagement: Weekly fellow-led virtual interactions held every Wednesday.
• Field Impact: Periodic peer outreach activities to implement learned modules within local communities.
