As a core team of this movement, Visible Impact is working together with Beyond Beijing Committee and Right Here Right Now Nepal to stand up and speak out, change the rules and unlock resources on three issues- Gender based violence including LGBTIQ violence, Safe Motherhood and Adolescent’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.
