About Ya_All

Ya_All, which reads as “Yawol” in Manipuri translates to Revolution. It was formed on May 17, 2017 on International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. as a secret whatsapp group to discuss personal issues faced by q***r youths in Manipur, but due to the increased stigmatization and violence, and the need to create a visible support system for each other we came out openly as a collective and now we work all through the year as a registered inclusive youth network from 13th June 2019.

We are the first youth-q***r led and focused registered Youth Network in Manipur and North East who are working openly at grassroots level on youth and q***r issues. All the board and volunteers are under 35 years of age.

We provide a safe space through our initiative called “ Meitram” which is the first co-working and networking space owmed and run by q***r individuals in India. Meitram act as the Resource Hub and support through free peer counseling, free peer to peer training, capacity building and advocacy to educate , equip and empower young people and de-stigmatize the conversations around Sexual & Reproductive health and rights, Mental health & well being , Drug Use & Harm Reduction of adolecents, youths and LGBTI+ individuals .
