A Promising Future for Children In Medellin

Recent formative workshops highlighted adolescents' lack of knowledge about sexuality. The “I Report” workshop raised awareness of recognizing and understanding sexual abuse, including abuser profiles and abuse types. Participants gained tools to identify risk situations and learned about available support networks. This safe space allowed them to ask questions and receive guidance. The “I Am Responsible” workshop explored responsible sexuality, discussing health, decision-making, and life impact. It emphasized self-respect, recognizing boundaries, and sexuality's role in personal growth. Open conversations helped address misconceptions and break taboos around diverse sexual orientations, especially regarding the LGTBIQ+ community. Additionally, individual psychological support sessions have fostered adolescents’ self-awareness and boundary-setting, contributing to healthier, value-driven relationships.
