Y-PEER Membership
Y-PEER, the Youth Peer Education Network, is a groundbreaking and comprehensive youth-to-youth initiative pioneered and supported by UNFPA. Globally, Y-PEER represents a network of more than 500 non-profit organizations and governmental institutions, and its membership includes thousands of young people who work in the many areas surrounding adolescent sexual and reproductive health.
In Uzbekistan, UNFPA Country Office supports Y-PEER since 2005. Recognizing the need of improving access to quality information and knowledge on sexual and reproductive health for adolescents and youth, Y-PEER strives to promote a healthy life style among young people. Currently, the network brings together more than 350 active volunteers nationwide. UNFPA facilitates advanced training for volunteers, to create a pool of trainers knowledgeable in issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights, HIV/AIDS, stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, gender equality, and drug abuse. They, in turn, organize cascades of training for peers in their regions and communities.
