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 queer 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-queer led and focused registered Youth Network in Manipur and North East who are working openly at grassroots level on youth and queer 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 queer 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 .
