Description
The aim of the project is to raise awareness in Estonia that an important part of human rights is bodily autonomy, ie the right to make independent decisions about one''s body, sexuality and reproduction. This is done through advocacy and consistent communication work in Estonian and Russian. Youth are targeted through a positive, empowering, and affirmative social media campaign on sexual consent and workshops on consent “How to say yes?”. As a result of the project, a discussion has started in Estonia on the need to introduce consent-based rape legislation; the human right to bodily autonomy has been introduced into societal debates on abortion and gender-based violence; young people''s awareness of the importance of consent has increased; and the advocacy capacity of the organizations involved in the project has improved.
