MORE ABOUT THE TOOLKIT

Talking about sex with children and youth is important, but we know it’s not always easy! That is why we developed this toolkit to support you in talking about relationships and sexuality with the young people you work with, so they can be empowered to make well-informed decisions and have the tools they need to navigate a world where gender-based violence, gender inequality, early and unintended pregnancies, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) still pose serious risks to their health and well-being. The toolkit was developed based on the feedback of our StreetSmart Wheels partners and based on the tools developed by Sensoa and Pimento.
