Last updated

Canadian Youth for Choice (CYC) is a pro-choice youth advocacy group based in Ottawa, Ontario. [1] [2] The group, which is the first of its kind in Canada, [3] advocates for the sexual and reproductive rights of people between the ages of 13 and 30. [2]

CYC work with the goal of increasing access to information and services relating to reproductive health for all Canadian youth. They have written a "Canadian Charter of Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Youth" and petitioned the House of Commons of Canada to pass it into law. [2] [3]

Four members of Canadian Youth for Choice participated in a cross-country tour designed to provide sex education in the summer of 2007. [1] [2]
