National Consultation on Adolescents and Youth on Commission on Population and Development (CPD)

Organized by :- Y-PEER Nepal & AYON
Supported By :- UNFPA, Nepal

National Consultation on Adolescents and Youth on Commission on Population and Development (CPD) was held on 4^th April 2012 at Summit Hotel,Kathmandu. It is a one day consultation program targeted to bring together diverse stakeholders including government delegates, youth organizations, INGOs, NGOs,

 Child clubs and young people to map the current situation; identify gaps and challenges; and draw out recommendations on the issues of adolescents and youth in Nepal in light with the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) so as to develop Nepal’s Position Paper for 45th session of the Commission on Population and Development (CPD).

The 45th session of the Commission on Population and Development will be held between April 23rd and 27th 2012. The involvement of young people was particularly more relevant this year’s CPD as the theme for the session is ‘Adolescents and Youth’. The CPD platform was an opportunity to ensure that young peoples’ voices and needs were heard, represented, and addressed; especially around the issues of young peoples’ sexual and reproductive health and rights. It was an opportunity for young people to bring out their concerns and influence decision-makers at national and international level. Furthermore, several youth organizations and partners working on youth SRH issues are not aware on the importance of involvement in the CPD process, and not necessarily the issues, realities and needs of Nepalese youth were discussed in the process.

Y-PEER Nepal also participated in CPD consultation programme. It was a great achievement for all the Youth.

Happy Valentine Day 2012

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.
