The Reproductive Health Alliance Kyrgyzstan (RHAK) was set up in 2001, and its services now extend across all 7 regions of the Kyrgyz Republic (Osh, Jalal-Abad, Talas, Chui, Naryn, Batken, Issyk-Kul). From its inception, RHAK has enjoyed strong youth support and input into its organization, policy-making and delivery. As a result, its youth work is a distinctive strength. RHAK has developed information materials for adolescents which cover critical sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues such as contraception and the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs, including HIV and AIDS). A significant contingent of national and international trainers have been involved in training health professionals and volunteers who’ve subsequently trained groups of all sorts in SRH. Particular interest groups include refugees and internal migrants, injecting drug users (IDUs), sex workers, children in care and homeless children. RHAK is an active member of collaborative, central Asian initiatives to address the particular SRH needs and challenges of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and repatriates. This work has included the publication and circulation of a substantial range of written materials, and the creation of 3 clinics located expressly to serve migrant communities.

Brook is a national charity supporting people with their sexual health and wellbeing. Founded by Helen Brook in 1964, Brook blazed a trail by empowering unmarried women to take charge of their sexual health at a time when it was deemed controversial. Despite fierce opposition, Helen Brook refused to let stigma stand in the way of what was needed. Today, Brook is proud to continue in Helen Brook’s pioneering footsteps by providing high quality, holistic sexual health and wellbeing services. Brook’s vision is that everyone is supported to live healthy lives, free from inequality and strengthened by fulfilling relationships. The charity’s unique offer combines face-to-face and digital clinical services for people of all ages, early intervention mental health and wellbeing support for young people, relationships and sex education in schools, training and consultancy for educators, outreach in local communities, and policy and advocacy.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/brook X: https://twitter.com/BrookCharity YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrookCharity Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrookCharityYP
