Yuwalaya video against VAW

By Diwakar Pyakurel for Yuwalaya

Hello world,

Today is December 10, International Human Rights Day. Also the concluding day of the 16 Day Activism against Violence against Women (VAW) that began on November 25.

To mark the Activism against VAW, Yuwalaya organised an exciting short-and-sweet event on last Saturday, December 7.  Members and some friends of Yuwalaya gathered at the Patan Durbar Square in the sunny afternoon to prepare a "commitment" video.

'Sex Work is WORK'

By Sabin Singh for Yuwalaya

Recently, I got a media scholarship to attend the 11th International Congress on AIDS in Asia Pacific held in Bangkok, Thailand from 18-23 November 2013. There I met lots of the people and organisations working in the area of HIV and AIDS; such as PLHIV, Men Having Sex with Men, LGBTIQ, Drug users, experts, scientist and global leaders from the Asia Pacific and other corners of the world. They all had different stories to share that made us smile and cry. Among them, Raina was the one who really touched my heart. She had a very painful past which she overcame and her story is one of the best examples of how to overcome bad experiences, which I think is truly inspirational.
