In a Nutshell

The Birds and the Bees is a peer education programme we have been implementing for a number of years in high schools in Athlone and Khayelitsha in order to challenge the negative attitudes and social norms that promote sexual violence and prevent survivors from speaking out, and creating in its place a culture of consent where learners can feel safe in their schools. We do this by training peer educators in schools, and collaboratively developing school actions and safety plans with them and with parents and educators.
