Resume

Seksuel og reproduktiv sundhed og rettigheder er et stort problem i Sierra Leone, hvor 18 % af kvinderne oplever at blive voldtaget eller seksuelt krænket. Ca. 30 % af de seksuelle overgreb foregår i skolesystemet. Axis vil i samarbejde med partneren Advocacy Movement Network (AMNet) derfor arbejde med unge menneskers SRSR både i landsbyer, ved hjælp af AMNets dialogbaserede metode Generation Dialogue til at sætte emnet på dagsordenen, og som fortaleremne for en koalition af civilsamfundsorganisationer. Koalition skal lægge pres på myndighederne for at få seksualundervisning på skoleskemaet. Som en del af denne fælles fortalervirksomhed skal det allerede udviklede seksualundervisningspensum testes på skoler i samarbejde med den nationale organisation for børn og unge, Children Forum Network.
