TYPF Youth Insight: Informing COVID-19 relief and response with young people’s experiences

During the COVID-19 pandemic in India, The YP Foundation reached out to its adolescent and youth network spread across 25 states and 6 UTs of the country to understand the impact of the 2020 national lockdown. Initially announced as a 21-day lockdown, the health emergency has mandated its extension till 31st May 2020, albeit with changing regulation and systems. While the lockdown combined with limited mobility and mandatory use of Personal Protective Equipment and Physical Distancing is appropriate and necessary, it has also created a range of challenges for adolescents and youth.
