Sensitization on Sex Education and Representative Health
(December 10th 2023- Linguistic center , Bertoua)
In 2023, we joined the UN in commemorating the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. We had an activity on Sex Education and Reproductive Health. This program was aimed at sensitizing youths on sex education. The participants were expected to learn about sex education and reproductive health in order to better know how their body function and how to take care of it. We worked with a number of 40 participants and the workshop took place in the linguistic centre in Bertoua.Objectives
The objectives of the program were:- To empower youths with knowledge on how their body functions.
- To educate youths on how to take care of their body and reproductive health.
- To inform youths that they have rights over their reproductive health and must be diligent when making decisions involving their bodies.
- To commemorate the UN 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence by joining the United Nations in advocating against all forms of Gender-Based Violence in our society.
Achievements
- This program helped the youths to develop Communication skills such as denouncing any form of sexual abuse or obstruction to their reproductive health rights. They also learned how to talk about sex education without shame, fear or ignorance of the topic.
- The program also helped to demystify the mystery of sex education amongst youths towards their parents and empowered them with different ways of bringing up the topic with their parents and younger ones. They were also educated on how to go about any reproductive health problem and who to run to.
