Some of our young volunteers in Nepal

Our Member Association in Nepal campaigned for over seven years engaging with policy makers, service providers, the media and the community to raise awareness of the impact of unsafe abortion.

In September 2002, abortion was finally legalized up to 12 weeks gestation and up to 18 weeks if due to rape or incest.

HIV Prevention Report Cards - Nepal

HIV Prevention for Girls and Young Women

This series of report cards aims to increase and improve the programmatic, policy and funding actions taken on HIV prevention for girls and young women.

The report cards summarise the current situation of HIV prevention strategies and services and contain an analysis of five key components that influence HIV prevention, namely:

1. Legal provision
2. Policy provision
3. Availability of services
4. Accessibility of services
5. Participation and rights

The cards build on global policy commitments, particularly those outlined in the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS from the 2 June 2006 High-Level Meeting, to follow up on the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on AIDS (UNGASS).

Nepal

Girls and young women continue to be particularly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS in Nepal. Recent ongoing political instability and civil unrest have further
exacerbated this.

As a result, there has been a significant increase in the numbers of mobile populations. This is particularly true for young men who do not wish to become involved in the civil unrest.
