Shag week 2006
NUS and Interact Worldwide are delighted to have teamed up to present our Sexual Health & Rights Campaign Pack 2006.
Locally, GUM waiting times are a postcode lottery, with stretched resources and huge waiting lists; nationally we see 18-25 year olds as the most ‘at risk group’ of contracting STIs, with 1in 10 young people thought to have Chlamydia; and internationally the HIV epidemic continues to grow, compounded by worrying ‘abstinence only’ promotion. There are a thousand reasons why each and every one of us has a responsibility to be campaigning on sexual health- these are just the tip of the iceberg.
This pack can be used not only for planning your campaign around National Student SHAG (Sexual Health Awareness & Guidance) Week & World AIDS Day, but should also act as a spring board for your year round campaigning on everything from the infringement of sexual and reproductive rights our counterparts globally face, to giving your students locally the practical information they need about looking after their own sexual health.
We are grateful to all those unions who have shared previous examples of best practice with us, and which have been built into the campaigning section of this pack.
We hope this pack will prove useful and are confident it will help inspire you and your students to go out there and change all that is wrong in the world where sexual health and rights are concerned.
The pack can be downloaded for free here:
