The Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health’s (ICAH) mission is to promote a positive approach to adolescent sexual health and comprehensive support for young parents. We believe that reproductive freedom for adolescents must encompass the freedom to prevent pregnancy and disease through contraception and accurate information, the freedom to terminate a pregnancy, and the freedom to bring a pregnancy to term and parent. ICAH sees social justice as an essential tool that promotes reproductive rights as an integral part of a broader human rights movement and knows that this movement has an opportunity to broaden its sphere of influence by aligning current work on HIV/AIDS, poverty, and oppression. In all of its work, ICAH focuses on serving marginalized adolescent groups, including youth of color, low-income and immigrant youth, lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender (LGBT) youth, and young parents. Our goals are developing youth as leaders, increasing access to sexual health care, increasing access to comprehensive sex education, and promoting comprehensive support for pregnant and parenting youth.
