In a significant move to advance Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Thames Community Service Outreach Program (CSOP) partnered with SAATH Nepal—a non-profit organization committed to SRHR and livelihood empowerment—to launch an empowering initiative for young women. This program invited female students aged 20 and above eager to raise awareness and make a positive impact in their communities to become SRHR Defenders.
The journey began with a Training of Trainers (ToT) program, conducted from March 26 to 28 at SAATH's office in Kupundole. This three-day training focused on equipping participants with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to address key issues related to SRHR. With expert facilitators leading the sessions, it created an inclusive environment for open conversations around menstruation, reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and gender-based stigma.
After completing the ToT, the trained SRHR Defenders will carry their learning into the field by leading sessions for community members across the Kathmandu Valley, scheduled between April and May. Their responsibilities include delivering SRHR awareness sessions tailored to local communities, distributing menstrual hygiene kits to promote menstrual health and dignity, conducting monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities to measure impact, and becoming eligible for future training as well as leadership opportunities.
This initiative reflects Community Outreach's dedication to creating spaces where young women can grow, lead, and serve. It empowers young women to break taboos and make a tangible difference through informed advocacy and engagement.
