Women are the permanent of the community; and they possess a huge untapped potential. However, girls have long been discriminated against by society and made to believe that they are inferior or less important than boys. Youth Development Center believe that the voice of young women must be heard if they are ever going to contribute fully to the community. Girls must be taught to express themselves articulately to build their charisma so that they can claim a more active role in their society. In most societies, women have little to no say on the issues affecting them, such as governance, allocation of resources, marriage, childbearing, etc. Right from the family level, women should be participants in the decision-making process. We Provide leadership space to the girls.

Following the major initiatives, the YDC has taken to empower the women and girls.

• Girls First Campaign (Young Women Empowerment): Girls first campaign is the young girls led youth campaign to boost up the issues of SRHR in Sunsari district.
