Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week 2021

This year, Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week is focusing on Youth! We are so excited to be working with some youth-focused organizations, providing updates on some amazing youth working in sexual and reproductive health, and taking a look at some of the things those of us who are of a (ahem!) more advanced age may have learned as youth.

We would also be remiss if we did not acknowledge that SRH Week takes place in the middle of Black History Month, and to take a moment to acknowledge the many Black people in history who have contributed to the advancement of Sexual and Reproductive Health, as well as the many Black people who are currently working in this sphere and making dynamic and impactful changes in the lives of people globally. With our utmost gratitude and appreciation, we thank you.

  • Monday: we will be talking with our friends from the Youth Advisory Council from McCreary Centre Society to answer some of their most important sexual and reproductive health questions. Join our event via Facebook Live!
  • Wednesday: Free Askable Adult workshop! 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. via Zoom. We ask that you join on time to get the most out of the session! Click here to join at 6 p.m. on February 10th!

  • Wednesday: Just because there’s a pandemic doesn’t mean we can’t watch movies together! We are going to do a socially distanced movie night starting at 7 p.m. where you can watch from the comfort of your own home! Join us to watch Unpregnant, and stay for a chat and debrief afterward. BYOP (bring your own popcorn!). Click here to join:

  • Friday: We’ll be hosting an Instagram Live event at 5 p.m. All About Youth and Pleasure! Click here for our IG page!
  • Sunday: Downtown East Side Women’s Memorial March. Although a large portion of the March is taking place virtually, there are in-person aspects taking place. We ask that you respect the requests of the organizers. Please show your support for the many missing and murdered Indigenous Women*, and for those who have lost their loved ones. Updates can be found on their Facebook page here.

We also want to invite you to participate in our Back In My Day campaign. Our intention with this campaign is to focus on the myths and misinformation that have been shared with folks around sexual and reproductive health. We invite you to take to social media to share your Back In My Day (or you can also send them to us via email and we can share them!) with #BIMD and #SRH2021. Why are we doing this? The idea behind this is that we will be able to dispel myths and also highlight the importance of fact-based scientific sexual health education because so many of us (young and old!) have had experiences of getting the wrong information. Of course, this is open to all ages of folks because sexual and reproductive health misinformation is still happening right now! So tell us- what did you learn back in your day that you now know is wrong? We’re here to help correct the misinformation and set the record straight on why sex ed is important!
