2013 had seen many of Youth LEADers actively advocating for human rights, and needs in various forums, and platforms. Youth LEAD became the first youth organization to co-chair the Asia Pacific Interagency Task Team (IATT) on Young Key Populations along with UNAIDS n 2013. The IATT was fundamental in supporting development of the New Gen Asia Initiatives and a significant avenue to universalize the issue of YKP in Asia and the Pacific.
