Our approach
11
Strategic Premise: I’m taking charge of my sexual health.
There is nothing more important than being myself – mind, body, soul. My health is my past, my present and my future, and I’m the only person that can take care of me. No matter what decisions are made for me, this is one I'm ready to make for myself. I choose to take charge, to learn and to visit a clinic. I don't go because it's the easy choice, I go because it's the right choice for me. Strong, brave, courageous, whatever you want to call it, that's what I choose to be. I am taking charge of my sexual health.
