Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a need for INSHEA?
Sexuality education is a critical component of comprehensive education that should be accessible to all individuals. It is often neglected or underfunded, with little to no organisation and structured collaboration. To address this, we co-created the Indian Network for Sexual Health Education and Advocacy (INSHEA).
What are the key focus areas of INSHEA’s initiatives?
INSHEA focuses on a comprehensive approach to sexual health education, covering topics such as reproductive health, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationships, and consent.
