As a part of the “My Rights, My Decision” project, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fĂĽr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) with the support of Bayer HealthCare, today peer educators from KULT held a promo-campaign related to sexual and reproductive health in front of the Fourth Gymnasium from 12.00 to 2.00 PM. On this occasion, the peer educators handed out promo-material and transferred alarming facts to youth: that 50% of youth in BiH use no means of protection during intercourse, that there are prejudice towards the modern means of contraception, that around 80 million unwanted pregnancies occur annually…
Sexual education does not only provide information on sexuality and protection from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy but affects confidence and teaches us how to respect ourselves, our body, our decisions and others. This type of education should prepare youth for a healthy and fulfilled life.
In addition to being held in IlidĹľa, the campaign related to sexual and reproductive health was also realised in 20 other municipalities.
