Neygifaa - Advocating for Comprehensive Sexuality Education
The official video of 'Neygifaa', a powerful song advocating for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). This collaborative effort between UNFPA Maldives , Baiskoafu and Symbolic Records, aims to highlight the crucial role that CSE plays in promoting a safe, fulfilling and productive life for society.
This advocacy video addresses crucial topics such as implications of unplanned pregnancies, impact of drug abuse and addiction, risks associated with unsafe sex and STDs, societal issues around bullying and broken families and the crucial conversations around mental health. Alongside these, we explore the role of men and boys, underlining the necessity to educate them to take more responsibility in addressing these issues. We highlight the importance of integrating CSE into the curriculum, to prepare young people to navigate the challenges they may face.
By promoting CSE, we hope to create an environment that fosters awareness, understanding, and respect, ensuring that the accurate knowledge is readily available to our society. Your support in sharing 'Neygifaa' contributes to a broader conversation about these pivotal issues, and empower individuals to make informed and healthy decisions in their lives.
