Book excerpt: SAFE SPACE FOR COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATIONAuthor: Olajumoke AdebayoIntroduction Sexually transmitted infections including HIV, early and unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortions, and gender-based violence are some of the issues many young people often experience due to inequitable sexual and gender norms. Despite, comprehensive sexuality education programs being proven to improve the sexual health and well-being of young people [1]. Socially conservative countries such as Nigeria, have traditional gatekeepers such as religious and educational authorities, making it difficult for young people to access information on sexual and reproductive health [2]. These prevents young people from building and enjoying healthy and respectful relationships as they transition into adulthood. This paper attempts to contribute how peer-to peer interaction in safe spaces can be a tool to further provide comprehensive sexuality education to young people. Intervention DesignObservations made from interactions between young people on social media platforms showed that young people in Nigeria were still not getting the correct appropriate information. Therefore creating a safe space for young people to get accurate information about the sexual and reproductive health was necessary. Passage Between Your Legs is an adolescent sexual and reproductive (SRH) project designed to serve as a non-judgemental safe space for young people 17 years and above, to access quality, accurate SRH information.Methodology The project is currently being implemented in Lagos state in south-west Nigeria. The project was targeted to reach a 100 young people between the ages of 17-30 years. Social media was a major tool to reach out to young people. Learning methods include use of audio-visuals aids, peer-to-peer interaction, demonstrations and learning games. Results/key findings A total of four meet-ups were done, 92 young people were reached through meet-ups, Males 34(37%) and females 58(63%) and 5,736 through social media. Evaluations showed that participants found meet-ups safe for open discussions and provided new insights and learning opportunities. Feedback from young people who attended:T, female 23 years old: I learnt that consent is not silence, it is my right and I can withdraw consent at anytime. Y, Male 25 years: I learn from every meet-up, most importantly I learnt to be assertive and make the right choices about my sexuality and to always give and seek consent always. M, male 24 years: It was fun and interactive and I learnt a lot of new things about my sexuality.H, female 21 years: meet-ups are always fun I learnt to make a dental dam and found out about lubricants.K, female 19 years: I find meet-ups very fun, interactive and I get comfortable to share without feeling judged. Advocacy Impact Comprehensive sexuality education has been proven to improve the sexual and reproductive health and well-being of young people, however by-passing gatekeeper such as religious and educational authorities especially in socially conservative countries have proven to be a great challenge for young people to access quality comprehensive sexuality education. The safe space sexual health meetup has proven to by-pass gatekeepers and also used as an avenue to provide basic sexual and reproductive health services to young people free of judgement and discrimination irrespective of gender or sexual orientation. Key Recommendation from the sexual health meetups:Need for more safe spaces where young people can access comprehensive sexuality education.Existing safe spaces can be used as an avenue to provide basic sexual and reproductive health care for young people.Social media should be an important tool for providing information on sexual and reproductive health.ReferencesSecor-Turner.

Download or read book Messy Grace written by Caleb Kaltenbach and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes, grace gets messy. Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christian…and a pastor. Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace. Messy Grace shows us that Jesus’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”—or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it’s messy. “Messy Grace is an important contribution to the conversation about sexual identity for churches and leaders. Caleb's story is surprising and unique, and he weaves it together compellingly. He states his views clearly, leaves room for disagreement, and champions love no matter where you are in this conversation.” —Jud Wilhite, Sr. Pastor, Central Christian Church
Download or read book Safe Is Not Enough written by Michael Sadowski and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe Is Not Enough illustrates how educators can support the positive development of LGBTQ students in a comprehensive way so as to create truly inclusive school communities. Using examples from classrooms, schools, and districts across the country, Michael Sadowski identifies emerging practices such as creating an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum; fostering a whole-school climate that is supportive of LGBTQ students; providing adults who can act as mentors and role models; and initiating effective family and community outreach programs. While progress on LGBTQ issues in schools remains slow, in many parts of the country schools have begun making strides toward becoming safer, more welcoming places for LGBTQ students. Schools typically achieve this by revising antibullying policies and establishing GSAs (gay-straight student alliances). But it takes more than a deficit-based approach for schools to become places where LGBTQ students can fulfill their potential. In Safe Is Not Enough, Michael Sadowski highlights how educators can make their schools more supportive of LGBTQ students’ positive development and academic success.
Download or read book Safe Space written by Christina B. Hanhardt and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2014 Lambda Literary Award in LGBT Studies Since the 1970s, a key goal of lesbian and gay activists has been protection against street violence, especially in gay neighborhoods. During the same time, policymakers and private developers declared the containment of urban violence to be a top priority. In this important book, Christina B. Hanhardt examines how LGBT calls for "safe space" have been shaped by broader public safety initiatives that have sought solutions in policing and privatization and have had devastating effects along race and class lines. Drawing on extensive archival and ethnographic research in New York City and San Francisco, Hanhardt traces the entwined histories of LGBT activism, urban development, and U.S. policy in relation to poverty and crime over the past fifty years. She highlights the formation of a mainstream LGBT movement, as well as the very different trajectories followed by radical LGBT and queer grassroots organizations. Placing LGBT activism in the context of shifting liberal and neoliberal policies, Safe Space is a groundbreaking exploration of the contradictory legacies of the LGBT struggle for safety in the city.

Download or read book Risky Lessons written by Jessica Fields and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curricula in U.S. public schools are often the focus of heated debate, and few subjects spark more controversy than sex education. While conservatives argue that sexual abstinence should be the only message, liberals counter that an approach that provides comprehensive instruction and helps young people avoid sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy is necessary. Caught in the middle are the students and teachers whose everyday experiences of sex education are seldom as clear-cut as either side of the debate suggests. Risky Lessons brings readers inside three North Carolina middle schools to show how students and teachers support and subvert the official curriculum through their questions, choices, viewpoints, and reactions. Most important, the book highlights how sex education's formal and informal lessons reflect and reinforce gender, race, and class inequalities. Ultimately critical of both conservative and liberal approaches, Fields argues for curricula that promote social and sexual justice. Sex education's aim need not be limited to reducing the risk of adolescent pregnancies, disease, and sexual activity. Rather, its lessons should help young people to recognize and contend with sexual desires, power, and inequalities.
