UMO is a national web-based youth friendly clinic for young people aged 13 to 25 years. The purpose of the site is to make it easier for young people to find relevant, current and quality assured information about sex, health and relationships.
UMO is dedicated to increase and enhance empowerment and equality in young people’s lives. UMO aims to provide information and possibilities of reflection through which young people can influence their own lives – at home, in relationships, in school or at work. UMO believes that by knowing one’s legal rights and obligations, one is better equipped to make initiated decisions.
UMO is embodied by an inclusive perspective and aims to make every visitor feel welcome and included. Opressing norms are questioned, discussed and debated. Big effort is also put into maintaining and improving the user-friendliness and accessibility of the site. For this purpose, UMO has its own web accessibility expert.
UMO has been developed by Inera, which also operates the site 1177.se, the only national site with information about health and medical care available to the public. The development of UMO has been financed by the Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality and the operation of the site is financed by the county councils and municipalities.
UMO is developed in co-operation with young people in Sweden, youth clinics, school health services, NGO: s and professionals working with young people.
