The story behind the story
Most adolescents do not have the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions about their sexual and intimate life. Let alone being able to talk about it openly at home and receive proper education at school.
According to UNFPA, 25% from women from 16 to 49 years old reported that they can’t say no to sex. It is hard to discuss sex, even more if you are a young adult who has little information about it and no experience.
Also, according to WHO, 27% of women who have been in a relationship report having suffered some kind of intimate partner violence.
This has to stop now. So we believe it’s time to open the conversation and empower women to challenge gender-biased beliefs to make their own informed decisions about sex and their bodily autonomy. Doing this will definitely improve their health and well-being.
This is a story about first love, about giving consent and setting boundaries and about having healthy relationships that make you happy.
