The Right Here Right Now 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. We seek to unleash the power of youth, to increase public support for SRHR, to improve policies and laws, and to strengthen civil society. Lobbying and advocacy is our main strategy, supported by mutual capacity strengthening.

Our 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 RHRN 1 platform in Nepal consisted of 15 civil society organizations, including YUWA, which is serving as the the platform secretariat. This platform worked on three thematic issues in Nepal, Marriage Equality, Safe Abortion and Comprehensive Sexuality Education.

RHRN2 addresses the limited respect, protection and the hindered fulfillment of the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) of young people in 10 countries in Africa and Asia. The platform is currently on its second phase. The RHRN 2 platform in Nepal is a coalition of like-minded organizations with YUWA serving as the platform secretariat. The coalition together work for the advancement of Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Nepal.
