This week's training session with YouAct will disc This week's training session with YouAct will discuss the theme decolonising SRHR. Decolonisation seeks to make visible and address how the effects of colonisation have shaped the way the world and knowledge is portrayed. Addressing the harmful history of colonisation and SRHR, such as eugenics, forced sterilisation, modern gynecology, sheds light on different barriers that still are present today and affect marginalised communities' access to srh services and rights. What can we do to reconstruct knowledge?  ❗️We can confront biases based on colonial history  ❗️We can learn from activists from low-income countries ❗️We can reflect over our language and terminology #youactpassthemic #youthsrhr #youthorganisation #decolonisingsrhr #youthparticipation
This week, YouAct will host the second session of This week, YouAct will host the second session of our SRHR training programme #Passthemic! with the theme Disabilities & SRHR. Disability is an umbrella term including participatory restrictions, impairments and limitations in activity. Youth with disabilities face several barriers to access their sexual and reproductive health and rights - the lack of availability and accessibility for SRH services, accessibility to comprehensive sexual education and acceptability in society. Young people with disabilities are also at more risk for sexual abuse, STDs, unwanted pregnancies and trafficking. #youactpassthemic #srhryouth #youthorganisation #youthparticipation
The first session of YouAct’s SRHR training prog The first session of YouAct’s SRHR training programme #Passthemic! will tackle the topics Consent & Rape Culture. Consent is an active agreement between two or more people to engage in sexual activity made voluntarily and on free will. The key for consent is communication. Engaging with sexual activity without consent is considered rape or sexual assault. In order to promote consent culture, we need to understand the societal structures of rape culture that normalise rape, sexual assault and harrasment. A tip is to watch the Tea Consent Video to see how consent can be compared to offering a cup of tea. #youactpassthemic #srhryouth #youthorganisation #youthparticipation
