This Programme aims to address the information gap and vulnerability of young people by providing Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). Through its curriculum, KYBKYR equips young people with knowledge and skills to navigate issues such as violence, HIV, abuse, and gender inequality. The programme utilizes a youth-led advocacy model to create demand for CSE in both school and community settings. It trains youth-oriented organisations, implements CSE curricula in deprived communities, and engages with Government programmes and policies to increase access to sexual and reproductive health services and information. Currently operating in three states in Northern India, KYBKYR focuses on two age groups: 9-13-year-olds and 14-year-olds and above.
