Sexual health and rights education is still a big taboo around the world, with dramatic consequences for too many young people. A lack of comprehensive sexuality education for young women and men can have the following effects: Less use of condoms, leading to a higher risk of STIs, including HIV. Less use of contraceptives leading to an increased risk of unintended pregnancy. The lack of knowledge in relation to sexuality combined with less understanding leads to more stigmatization and shame in relation to sexual identity and one's own gender.
In this episode, Carine Weiss talks to Karin Stierlin about her success with the App «Love Land». «Love Land» is a multi-channel program to make sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education globally accessible. We talked about the process of developing the App, who it serves for and what is needed to break taboos around sexuality of young people.
