🌟 Breaking Barriers: Empowering Nepalese Youth for Better SRHR 🌟
The Breaking Barriers project in Nepal is a shining example of dedication to empowering young individuals with comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) education and services. With a focus on addressing societal stigmas and cultural taboos, this initiative is paving the way for a more informed and empowered youth population.
Through a multifaceted approach including workshops, awareness campaigns, and advocacy efforts, Breaking Barriers ensures that accurate information and youth-friendly services are readily accessible. By fostering informed decision-making and advocating for policy reforms, the project is creating a supportive environment where young people can confidently navigate their sexual and reproductive health journey.
Thanks to the support from the Pollination Project grant, Breaking Barriers has successfully raised awareness about SRHR among Nepalese youth. With community engagement at its core, the project has facilitated access to much-needed SRHR services, empowering young individuals to take charge of their health.
Moreover, Breaking Barriers has been instrumental in driving policy reforms aimed at promoting SRHR education and services across Nepal. By breaking down barriers to information and support, this initiative has made significant strides in improving the overall well-being of young people.
With 500 individuals impacted and countless more to benefit in the future, Breaking Barriers serves as an example of the power of grassroots initiatives in creating positive change.

Please, meet Maida Šabeta-Lemajić , our Heartivist of the Week!
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a landmark document from 1948, marked a pivotal moment for humanity by acknowledging inherent rights for all individuals, regardless of origin or circumstance. However, while humans have seen progress in safeguarding their rights, the same cannot be said for other inhabitants of the planet. Maida Šabeta-Lemajić, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, is tirelessly working alongside the Global Animal Law GAL Association to extend universal protection to all sentient beings.
Born and raised in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Maida`s journey into animal advocacy began during her college years when she discovered the pervasive issue of animal cruelty. Since then, she has been instrumental in shaping animal protection laws in her country, leading to significant reforms such as banning animals in circuses and curtailing animal experimentation.
Maida`s dedication to animal welfare has taken her to various organizations, including PETA Germany and Cruelty Free International. However, it is her involvement with the Global Animal Law GAL Association that has allowed her to pursue her dream of enacting global animal protection laws. Under the leadership of figures like Dr. h.c. Antoine F. Goetschel, the association is working towards establishing the United Nations Convention on Animal Health and Protection (UNCAHP), a monumental initiative aimed at legally safeguarding animals worldwide.
Maida and her team are spearheading efforts to raise awareness and garner support for the UNCAHP through initiatives like video production and outreach campaigns. With support from organizations like The Pollination Project, they aim to amplify their message and build a global coalition for animal rights.
