#HeforShe campaign in Nepal

Around the world, especially in developing countries, many girls and women are facing various forms of violence against them. They are suffering from gender-biased cultural, ritual and social norms and practices. In such cases, we generally present women as helpless and men as perpetrators; but it is not an actual case. We cannot claim women as helpless creatures and men as powerful dominant characters always. When a global research on violence against children was carried out, the UN had clearly specified one of the most important recommendations; i.e. men's and boys' engagements in ending violence against girls and women. We cannot imagine a world without men and women both, so it is very important that both sexes go together.

My Experience in Digging the World We Want

By Rubina Shrestha

In May of 2013, Restless Development, a youth-led INGO announced a Training of Trainers (ToT) programme on Post-2015 Development Agenda for youth affiliated with different organisations. On behalf of Yuwalaya, I got an opportunity to participate in that ToT, where I not only learnt about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and post-2015 agenda but also got an opportunity to meet youth from different areas having diverse expertise. 

Post-2015 Development Agenda: Yuwalaya celebrates Global Week of Action

As the United Nations has called the world to speed up campaigning to collect more votes under the 'My World' campaign, Yuwalaya is organising various programmes to collect more votes from Nepal about the priorities for the post-2015 development agendas.

Our Voice in Post-2015 Development Agenda

By Sanjog Thakuri
While our neighbour country India is extensively engaged in its election; globally many children, adolescents and youths are also busy in promoting importance of votes. But, this vote the youth are advocating for is not for any political parties. It, however, has a political impact globally from developed countries to developing ones.

When the world stepped into the new millennium, the whole world came together and decided to set new goals since the world had new challenges and the new generation was in move. After massive discussions, consultations, meetings, interactions and, of course, some debates finally the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were drafted. These days we all know about the MDGs not only because of its importance, also because it is about to expire and again the world is looking forward to post-2015 development agendas. That’s why, through every possible platform, all the organisations, civil societies and UN agencies are discussing and consulting with people to know their issues, strategies and ideas for after 2015. Post-2015 is an issue of all people, organisations, development partners and UN agencies.
