Youth lead workshops about sexual and reproductive rights

During 2011, the Ciudad Sandino youth  facilitating has sessions for other adolescents and youth about sexual and reproductive rights.

Continuing into 2012, we have shared that knowledge in a series of workshops with an average of 16 participants. Beyond simply imparting information, the sessions created a space for reflection about sexuality, violence, the causes and consequences of teen pregnancy, human rights, and more. Some of the techniques used in the workshops included discussion, simulations, games and artistic expression.

We hope to offer that same space to more adolescents and youth from our city to support their personal development.
