To challenge any stereotyping that I come across and to try and make a positive change to the way that society views young people. Growing up I received no SRE, bar an hour long lesson in which we were taught the basics about our bodies and a tiny mention of puberty.

I pledge to do my part to break down these taboos. Instead of just challenging them I will try to understand why they have come about and why they are still accepted in society.

Young people should feel safe and happy within their sexual relationships, and they are much more likely to achieve this if education puts emphasis on consent, mutual respect, and pleasure.
