On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and existence of transgender lives. 🏳️‍⚧️

But in India, as new law continues to threaten our fundamental right to self-identify, our visibility is no longer just celebration - it is resistance.

We refuse systems that try to control, regulate, and deny our identities. We refuse to be silenced, erased, or reduced.

Our existence is not up for approval.
Our dignity is non-negotiable.

Today, we stand together - to speak, to resist, and to fight for a future where trans lives are respected, protected, and free.

We are sharing the timing for workshop

A One-Day Mental Health Awareness cm Counselling Program was conducted at Dental College, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) on 21st February 2026. The program was jointly organised by the National Mental Health Program, Tele-MANAS Manipur, the College Development Council, Manipur University, and Ya_ All: The Youth Network.

The speakers communicated clearly and compassionately, making the topics easy to understand and relatable.

Students actively participated, asked questions, and engaged in discussions. The supportive presence of faculty members further strengthened the atmosphere of openness.

Overall, the program successfully raised awareness about mental health and encouraged students to take care of their emotional well-being. It also reinforced the importance of regular mental health initiatives within educational institutions.

Kakching Khunou is located approximately 50-60 kilometers from Imphal, situated in a semi-rural and border area of Manipur. Due to its geographical location and the recent conflict situations affecting surrounding regions, students in this area have experienced various forms of stress, uncertainty, and disruption in their academic and personal lives. Recognizing the importance of extending mental health awareness to such corner and conflict-affected areas, a One-Day Mental Health Awareness cm Counselling Program was organized on 19-02-2026 at Kakching Khunou College, Kakching Khunou.

The program was jointly initiated by the National Mental Health Program, Tele-MANAS (Mental Health Assistance and Networking Across States) Manipur, the College Development Council, Manipur University, and Ya_All: The Youth Network.

The session successfully addressed the emotional needs of students living in a geographically distant and conflict-affected region.

Students actively participated, shared their thoughts, and engaged in discussions with openness and curiosity. The programme created a supportive learning environment where mental health was discussed without fear or stigma.

Overall, the initiative strengthened awareness, promoted emotional resilience, and reaffirmed the necessity of sustained mental health outreach in corner and conflict-impacted areas of Manipur.

As the Niranthara NE Program, Cohort-I, comes to an end, Ya_All is proud to announce that we have completed the year-long program aimed at strengthening grassroots organisations through a holistic capacity-building approach - enhancing efficiency, accountability, transparency, and visibility.

First of all, a big, big thank you to Mr. .hanjabam , our founder, for his visionary decision of introducing the team to an Organisation Change Management (OCM) program in hopes of building a sustainable, transparent, & accountable Organisation. Your motivation, dedication, and leadership have been an inspiration for all of us.

The OCM program's success can be mainly attributed to the dedication, hard work, and perseverance of ,our CFM, who has shown us that sincerity & discipline in the face of opportunity yield optimal results. We also thank our Ya_All team members for their support and cooperation in making this journey a success. Our endline score of 92.17% (against a baseline score of 13.91%) is a testament to the dedication of the team towards the OCM program.

This achievement of 92.17% remains incomplete without the constant and continued support of the Dhwani Foundation and Anaha Public Charitable Trust. We would like to take Wungmaya Lunghar, Abhilasha Bharali, Lorence Terang Kamei Chingkhiungam, and Dhanashri Kulkarni for their support, criticism, and encouragement extended to our team.

Ya_All pledges to uphold and translate these learnings in the days to come.

The third session for Project Thrive was held with the theme " Taking charge of your health: ART for adolescents living with HIV" facilitated by Philip Laishram.
The session focused on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), explaining that ART is a combination of medications that helps people living with HIV stay healthy. The facilitator discussed the benefits of ART and explained when and how the treatment works best. A visual video was also shown to illustrate how the HIV virus functions in the human body, comparing its effects before and after ART, which helped clarify the concept for participants.
The session included an interactive activity where participants were given pieces of paper to write down their questions or concerns. This activity encouraged open discussion, allowing the facilitator to address the participants’ needs and provide clearer understanding on the topic.

Happy International Women’s Day ✨
To all women and everyone who identifies as a woman - cis, trans, and across our beautiful spectrum. Today we celebrate you, your strength, and your journey.

On World NGO Day, our organization continues to stand with youth and adolescents, nurturing inclusion, dignity, and equal opportunities, because a just and compassionate society is built when every young voice is seen, heard, and valued.

A second session for "Project Thrive" was held on 24th Jan at Ya_All safe space on "Medication and ART" by Ms. Renarshi Loukrakpam.

Keeping in mind the current 95-95-95 status of Manipur, a session to help cultivate discipline in ART medication and dispel myths and misunderstanding regarding ART regimen was held .

The session focused on medication regiments that have evolved over the years, how to maintain i.e medication discipline through peer and family support and lifestyle adjustments: Lived Experience were shared with the participants in an interactive manner.

Our football team decided to conduct a training session instead of a friendly match. The session focused on providing basic football training for children under 14 years of age, with a total of 25 students attending. After this, the team moved to another location i.e Heingang, Imphal, Manipur, to continue conducting similar sessions. Through these activities, we aim to create awareness about our work, showcase how we conduct our sessions, and highlight our efforts to support and train young children by giving them a strong foundation in football.
