The festival endeavours to create an urge for the significance of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) through a vibrant and festive approach by engaging youths including diverse communities in the presence of policymakers, and like-minded national, international, youth-led and transgender organizations.
The program was a part of the “Right Here Right Now 2” (RHRN-2) initiative, where Brac leads the implementing coalition.
In the panel discussion, the host and Brac's in charge of Social Empowerment and Legal Protection Program, Shashwatee Biplob, said: “The media has a big role to play in preventing the dissemination of wrong information on the internet.”
Sabnam Faria said: “The internet does not always give the right information because a lot of content is being made only to attract more views or likes.”
Author and Associate Editor of Prothom Alo Anisul Hoque, Senior Policy Adviser at the Netherlands Embassy Mushfiqua Zaman Satiar, school teacher Shamima Akhter, and two participating students, Kotha Akter and Talha Tabassum, took part in the panel discussion.
RHRN-2 is a multi-country coalition project, implemented in Bangladesh as a global strategic partnership from 2021-2025. The project aims to create enabling gender-just societies where young people in all their diversity enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The project tackles taboos associated with comprehensive sexuality education and sexual reproductive health rights through enhancing youth access to information and education, increasing public support, improving policies and laws, and strengthening civil society by capacity building by keeping the youth at the forefront of all interventions.
The age range of the targeted youth group is 15 to 30 years.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kingdom of Netherlands, where Rutgers, the Netherlands is acting as the executing agency.
