YUWA Vacancy Announcement
Vacancy Call
Local Coordinator: Youth SRHR Champions Chitwan
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 strategies, 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.
The Right Here Right Now 2 (RHRN2) is a partnership created so that young people in all their diversity enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in gender-just societies. The RHRN2 Nepal is a strategic partnership between six diverse youth-led and youth-serving organizations to which YUWA serves as a Secretariat.
The Nepal coalition consists of a diverse organization representing youth-led organizations, women’s feminist network organizations, LGBTIQ+ led organizations, People with Disability led organizations and rural-based youth organizations namely Beyond Beijing Committee Nepal (BBC), Blue Diamond Society (BDS), Blind Youth Association Nepal (BYAN), Center for Karnali Rural Promote and Society Development (CDS-PARK) Youth Alliance for Development (YARD) and YUWA. The coalition envisions ensuring young people aged 13-30 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.
Introduction
YUWA with the support of Right Here Right Now is organizing an annual program called Youth SRHR Champions in Chitwan. Apropos to this, we are looking for a local coordinator based in Chitwan to help support our program.
Youth Champions are a group of 16 youth activists of diverse backgrounds and identities, who advocate at the local level for improved sexual and reproductive health policies that support reproductive health, family planning services, comprehensive sexuality education and programs that support meaningful youth participation in Chitwan. Youth Champions will design a plan and execute it within their local level on the issues of SRHR and CSE. This will be a platform where the youth champions will be able to brainstorm for the plan of action, raise funds for the execution of the plan and then finally execute it in a practical setting.
This will also be a platform where youth champions can learn about issues around CSE and SRHR, design and implement programs, build networks capacitate themselves and become change-makers in the community. The youth champions will serve as youth advocates, educators and spokespersons on the issues of adolescent sexual and reproductive health.
