About Us
Queer Youth Group (QYG) is a youth-led, not-for-profit collective dedicated to advocating for the rights and dignity of queer individuals in Nepal Since its founding, QYG has been at the forefront of policy advocacy, awareness campaigns, and community support for people of marginalized sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics (PoMSOGIESC). Driven by a vision of equity and justice, QYG works to advance the social and legal recognition of gender diversity through strategic litigation, education, and resource development. Our initiatives span strategic litigation, education, and the development of accessible resources. We actively promote language justice, inclusive public policies, and gender-affirmative healthcare. Through community engagement, Pride celebrations, and continuous advocacy, QYG strives to build a society where all gender and sexual minorities can live with pride, safety, and equal rights.
Logo
The image is a logo for the Queer Youth Group, featuring five interlocked hands arranged in a star-like circular formation. This design symbolizes unity, solidarity, and mutual support within the queer community. Each hand is uniquely colored with a different pride flag, representing the diversity of gender identities and sexual orientations embraced by the group.
Starting from the top left and moving anti-clockwise, the first hand features the transgender pride flag, with stripes of light blue, pink, and white, representing transgender persons. The second hand, at the bottom left, is colored with the non-binary pride flag, which includes yellow, white, purple, and black, symbolizing identities that exist outside the traditional male or female binary.
Continuing anti-clockwise, the third hand, at the bottom, showcases the genderfluid pride flag. Its pink, white, purple, black, and blue stripes reflect the fluid and shifting nature of gender identity over time. The fourth hand, on the bottom right, is decorated with the agender pride flag, which combines black, gray, white, and green stripes to represent those who do not identify with any gender, or who experience a lack of gender identity.
Finally, the fifth hand, at the top right, bears the intersex pride flag, a yellow background with a purple circle, symbolizing bodily autonomy and the inclusion of intersex individuals in the queer movement.
At the center of the interlocked hands, the colors of the Pride Flag where it can be seen in star shape. This highlights the importance of centering racial and transgender inclusivity within the broader LGBTQAIP+ struggle.
