About Youth Ke Bol – As part of our Sexual and Reproductive Health rights and Justice (SRHR-J) work, Youth Ke Bol believes all young people in India, irrespective of gender, sexuality, marital status, caste, class or geography must be able to access modern contraceptives and make informed decisions about their bodies and sexual and reproductive health. In order to realise this aspiration. It is a coalition that aims to bring together 1 million young people from across the country in order to amplify their voices and create a dialogue to improve young people’s access to sexual reproductive health and contraception. The primary focus of this dialogue is to look at improved access to contraceptives and SRH information as a cornerstone to improved Quality Of Life (QOL).
The broad objectives of the project are as follows:
-
- To sustain partnerships with educational institutions and community based organisations to create a cohort of 180 youth leaders and 2000 owners who are capacitated on QOL lens;
- To build the capacities of young people in the educational institutions to lead dialogues on SRHR, contraception from QOL through an intersectional and rights based approach across 2 states;
