Resume

The project will contribute to The Sex Talk Arabic's (TST) efforts to strengthen and sustain the digital sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) movement in the Southwest Asia and North Africa region (SWANA). It will contribute to equipping women, girls and LGBTQ+ individuals in the region with robust frameworks, leadership skills and decision-making opportunities to eradicate Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and enhance feminist and queer knowledge production via digital channels. A thorough needs assessment will also be conducted to inform the creation of a youth-led sex educational program by the formulation of a Logical Framework (LFA), guiding the process of designing and implementing the program. Efforts will also be made to strengthen TST's capacity and fundraising efforts.
