"For the past 20 months, I have gotten to know myself and my community better in live in—thanks to the adolescent girls and young women who opened my eyes, walked with me and shared stories that sparked my need to see change happen. I now have the capacity, courage and conviction to fight for my rights and the rights of others."

Along with a group of her peers, Aguti successfully advocated for  comprehensive sexuality education in their school. It's finally allowed to be conducted at their school, many time the aspect was againist the community traditions and beliefs.
