Resume
The intervention aims to provide training in S&RHR topics for teachers at 8 lower income schools and an independent location in Cali and Popayán, Colombia, in order for them to create a S&RHR program for students of all ages within their respective schools. The objective for this intervention is to inform teachers about topics such as anatomy, puberty, menstruation, birth control methods, STIs, the LGBTQ+ community, consent, gender stereotypes, social media, and more, as well as to inspire with exercises for the local teachers to bring S&RHR education into their classrooms.
