Comprehensive Sexual Education for young people in Mexico
Commitment description:We commit to provide comprehensive sexual education and counseling in sexual health to young people in Mexico through the funding and expansion of our 3 programs:
- Hablemos de Sexo y Amor - A digital community and network supporting safe, healthy and pleasurable love, sex and relationship for young people. We provide online CSE contents , through our website hablemosdesexo.com, our social media and our online platforms reaching over 4,000,000 young people per year. This program is the Spanish version and part of the Love Matters Global Network. We operate at the intersection of (digital) media and content, and popular culture to spark social transformation advancing the fulfilment of young people's SRHR. We put the control in young people's hands. They can access our online channels and forums anonymously, privately, and whenever they want to. That way, they can get the information they need while bypassing traditional gatekeepers.
