Youth Activist Leadership Council (YALC) Kathmandu

&

Youth Activist Leadership Council (YALC) Rupandehi

Background

The Right Here Right Now 2 (RHRN2) partnership is created so that young people in all their diversity enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in gender-just societies. Young people are at the forefront of our partnership. RHRN seeks to unleash the power of youth, increase public support for SRHR, improve policies and laws, and strengthen civil society. Lobbying and advocacy are the main strategy, supported by mutual capacity strengthening.

RHRN partnership comes at a critical time when SRHR as well as gender justice are under pressure around the world, and young people’s needs consistently go unmet. We do not shy away from taboo subjects such as comprehensive sexuality education and safe abortion, and advocate for the rights of marginalized groups such as girls, young women and young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people. We focus on these issues and groups because, based on our collective track records, we can, and because few other consortia and organizations do.

RHRN 2 Nepal coalition is implementing the five-year partnership (2021-2025) to empower young people, increase public support for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), and improve policies and laws on CSE and SRHR, and strengthen capacity of civil society organizations. The RHRN2 Nepal Coalition consists of six diverse organizations representing youth-led organizations, feminist-led organization, queerled organization, organization led by people with disability (OPD). The coalition partners include Beyond Beijing Committee (BBC), Blue Diamond Society (BDS), Blind Youth Association Nepal (BYAN), CDS-PARK, Youth Alliance for Development (YARD) and YUWA. YUWA is the country lead for this RHRN2 Nepal Coalition. The coalition envisions to ensure young people aged 15-30 in their diversity are empowered to exercise all aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in a supportive social and enabling legal environment in Nepal by 2025.
