OUR CAMPAIGNS

Fair sex

FAIR SEX is the name of a campaign launched on the 4th of May 2011. The campaign includes drawings and questions concerning sexual situations and relationships. The material can be found here.

The aim of the campaign is to encourage young people to talk about issues related to sexuality, such as: what do I want? How can I express what I want? How can I know what my partner wants? How should I relate to what other people think? To talk and think about such issues can enhance the possibilities of experiencing positive sexual relationships and reduce the risk of being exposed to or commit sexual violence.

What is equality?

Those five ads were subsequently published in one of the Ålandic local papers.

– Can little boys play with dolls?
– Do mothers and fathers have equal responsibility for their children?
– Should salaries depend on gender?
– Do men have stronger sexual desires than women?
– Why is it almost always men who buy and women who sell sex?
– Den 1 september publicerade lokaltidningen Nya Åland en ledare som ankyter till informationskampanjen. Läs den här.
– Den 3 september publicerade lokaltidningarna på Åland en debattartikel skriven av informationsansvariga för Ålands fredsinstitut, Susann Simolin: Vad är problemet med könsroller?
