Lesson Learnt

Internalization of CSE issues takes intensive time and efforts: internalization with implementing agencies, FPAN, concerned stakeholders takes longer period of time and more personal efforts. People may talk politically correct languages in workshops and meetings but it is difficult to explore their attitude regarding CSE when they are out of their professional role. CSE encompass a new paradigm of looking at the young people's sexuality, which should be free from preconceived negative notion of society's view of sexuality. Internalizing CSE means that the stakeholders should be ready to advocate for CSE in their informal settings too, stakeholders should be willing to go through a process of self reflection and get in touch with their own strength, biases and prejudice regarding various aspects of CSE.

CSE advocacy in a country going through transition is difficult: MOE Minister changed abruptly during the reporting period. We developed rapport and sensitize one Ministry and she was replaced by a new person. CSE issues are yet to be in a priority list for the government of Nepal as it is in the process of writing constitution of the country. It is struggling to maintain the rule of law because of widespread impunity, frequent strike and boycott from different sectors on many social issues. We need more comprehensive strategy to advocate on CSE in the present situation.

More Intensity and Wider Coverage needed: to generate wider consensus on CSE, there is a need for wider coverage with media, teachers, students, MOE, MOH all over Nepal. To campaign effectively on CSE should be the major priority of whole MA and its Branch Office.
