If you’re looking for accurate, youth-friendly information about
sexual and reproductive health in Azerbaijan, there are a number
of places, organizations and individuals which can help:
Someone like you - the Y-PEER network
Under the Y-PEER scheme in Azerbaijan, young people across the country
have been trained to help others of a similar age and background
get the facts, understanding, attitudes and skills they need to
be responsible for and to protect their health and well being.
One of the advantages of the Y-PEER scheme is that it’s flexible:
you can chat one-to-one -- or in a larger group. And you can meet
in almost any location: a university, a club, a café -- even
in the street.
