In order to promote comprehensive sexuality education, a number of activities such as a futsal tournament, flash mob, inter-generational dialogue, counselling, information corners, games were organized as part of a ‘CSE mela’ in Kathmandu.
Participants included students and teachers from Samata Siksha Niketan, Padma Kanya Vidyashram Secondary School, Shree Bal Byabasayee Kendra Secondary School, Ratna Rajya Higher Secondary School, Chamunda Higher Secondary School, Krishna Secondary School, Mahendra Bhrikuti Secondary School and Gamvir Samudra Setu Secondary School.
The event was organized in coordination with the National Youth Council at Kumari Futsal, Paknajol, by YPEER-Nepal and Marie Stopes Nepal with support from the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Tradeand UNFPA Nepal.
Every young person will one day have life-changing decisions to make about their sexual and reproductive health. Yet majority of adolescents in Nepal lack the knowledge required to make those decisions responsibly, leaving them vulnerable to coercion, sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
Comprehensive sexuality education enables young people to protect their health, well-being and dignity.
