“Don’t hide from me, just tell me”
This movement empowers youth through collaboration and drama, giving under-served communities a louder voice to speak about SRH topics, effacing the stigma against allowing the youth free access to SRH facilities. The youth, woke and ambitious, produce and perform this profound story.
Our research began by speaking to clinicians, healthcare providers and adolescents to identify pain points preventing youth from accessing SRH facilities.
We identified that the primary barrier preventing youth from accessing SRH facilities is the stigma surrounding SRH issues.
We created a play guide which tackled key SRH pain points identified by the youths. Our concept is heavily inspired by the stories of the 25 young adolescents, shared in 4 different creative workshops where we got to know each of them personally.
