The purpose of this intervention is to facilitate the conversation about sexuality within families in collaboration with local partner schools. The intervention will take place in Querétaro, México and rural areas surrounding the city. Teachers, administrative staff, students, and parents have all communicated a need and desire to discuss sexual and reproductive health rights (S&RHR) with families. This is especially important in a country with socio-economic inequality, gender inequality, violence towards women, and high numbers of unplanned teen pregnancies. The families of students from 5th grade of elementary school to 6ᵗʰ semester, of high school from each partner school will be invited to participate in activities and games where S&RHR will be discussed. New material will be created and handed out as well. It is expected for 1200 caregivers, 24 teachers and 8 principals to participate.
