The initiative focuses on providing comprehensive sexuality education, establishing safe spaces for girls, and enhancing access to sexual and reproductive health services. These efforts are expected to create an environment where young girls can thrive and achieve their full potential.
Speaking at the launch, representatives from KOICA Nepal Office emphasized the importance of collaboration in achieving sustainable development goals, particularly in promoting gender equality and ensuring access to health and education for all. UNFPA Nepal highlighted the need for programs that address the unique challenges faced by adolescent girls, especially in rural areas like Lumbini.
