International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM
Paper cuts!

Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week
More girls have been killed in the last 50 years, purely because they were girls, than men were killed in all the battles of the 20th century[1].
I’ll say that again.
National HIV Testing Week

Is Vishi correct?
What was your thought pattern?
International Day of Education
How often do you send a message on your phone or read a sign when you’re out and about?
Imagine not only being unable to text your friends but not even being able to call them because you couldn’t read their names on your phone.

While our Esteem program was developed for school-based relationships and sex education, our new Fullness course has been designed to help church workers engage confidently and knowledgeably with young people on these tricky topics.
Psychological support
We are so inspired by the courage of the ACET Ukraine team, who have continued working with young people throughout the war.
