The project’s overall objective is to build and strengthen young people’s capacity and skills to be aware of and empowered to claim, exercise, realise, and enjoy their sexual health and rights through inclusive and diverse community-based participatory interventions by addressing the socio-cultural norms and power dynamics that limit the youth from developing health behaviours necessary to achieve an adequate state of sexual and menstrual health and well-being, and gender diversity. Hence, the project aims to provide youth workers and youth-oriented organisations with Open Educational Resources on Gender, Sexmenstrual Health and Gender-Based Violence and digital youth work tools in the context of non-formal education.
Youth workers will be trained on how to use and apply the created educational resources to address youth sexual health, menstrual health and gender-related education in youth work: sexual anatomy, consent, intimate relationship, and menstruation; sexuality, contraception, STIs; gender-based violence prevention. The project is aimed at youth who are victims of discrimination or at risk of social exclusion and youth workers who work with them. They are the youth who are more likely to experience sexism, discrimination, and/or racism such as young women in vulnerable situations due to lack of education, youth with disability, and racial, sexual, or gender minority youth.
