UNFPA TransformU Bodyright Student Challenge 2022 for Global University students
Academic institutions play a vital role in the development of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by imparting knowledge and expertise in main subject areas. With an aim to work productively with the academic community, UNFPA established and formally launched a University Network called TransformU in March 2019. TransformU is a membership-based network that summons institutions of higher education, continuing education and educational associations to join UNFPA’s vision to address UNFPA’s transformative results. One of the major objective of the TransformU network is to raise student awareness and engagement in UNFPA’s work. In addition to UNFPA’s efforts to raise student awareness and engagement, TransformU is initiating a student-focused online challenge on bodyright set to begin during the 16 Days of Activism in November 2022.
