Valentine Day Safer Sex CampaignHistory of Valentine day:
Valentine’s Day is attributed to Saint Valentine. During the reign of Emperor Claudius II of Rome, who came across a weird idea, that unmarried men made better soldiers prompting him to ban marriages of young men across the country. He felt that wives and children were too much of a distraction and that they made men weak. Since his armies had to fight attackers on all fronts, he wanted the strongest force possible. Most of the men in his service were opposed to this rule. Valentine ,a priest in the Roman Empire secretly allowed marriages entirely under his auspices. Thus for young lovers he became the embodiment of uniting hearts, but the story has a tragic ending. When Emperor Claudius found out this happening he ordered that Valentine be put to death. Before his death in February 14, 269 AD, Valentine is said to have written a letter to her ending with, “From Your Valentine”. And from there this custom or tradition began.
About Valentine Safer sex campaign:
Y-PEER Nepal initiated Valentine Day Safer Sex Campaign through online forum to promote responsible sexual behavior among young people on 14th February 2011. Online posters were designed keeping in mind the youthful essence and of love and sexuality. The posters were posted in various online platform like facebook and blogs and it was also sent through email to all the member organizations, partners, youth organizations, youth networks etc. It was hugely promoted through facebook as most of the young people have access to it and the campaign was appreciated by the youths for its modality of no funding activity but giving a very strong message and creating awareness.
This year with the same concept as in past, Y-PEER Nepal has collected love poems, gajals, love messages, etc. All these things will be posted on our official website, facebook page and twitter on Valentine day 2012 (i.e. 14th February 2012). This Valentine Campaign is purely an online campaign. Anyone can post (also can comment ) their love poems, gajals, love messages, etc in our facebook page, blog, twitter. All these things can be emailed to us at info@ypeernepal.org.
Y-PEER Nepal wishes all of you the very Happy Valentine Day 2012.

निभेको दियोमा थपि हेर तेल, अनि मात्रै जल्छ प्रकाश ।।
मेरो प्रेम कहानी सुनेर रमाएर सधैँ रुन्छ आकाश ।।
तिम्रो हाँसोमा मेरो मनको मुहार सधैँ मुस्कुराउँछ,
दौडेर अंगालोमा आउ, समाउ, मेरो रोकिए रोकिन्छ श्वास ।।
प्रेम दिवसको हार्दिक शुभकामना ।।
मेरो प्रेम कहानी सुनेर रमाएर सधैँ रुन्छ आकाश ।।
तिम्रो हाँसोमा मेरो मनको मुहार सधैँ मुस्कुराउँछ,
दौडेर अंगालोमा आउ, समाउ, मेरो रोकिए रोकिन्छ श्वास ।।
प्रेम दिवसको हार्दिक शुभकामना ।।
