We provide dynamic workshops created to boost learning, free online informational material created for students and families that is easy to understand and with teachers in mind, and an online community with open communication.
Why we do it?
In Colombia and Mexico, gender inequality and gender-based violence are major concerns. Teaching about topics such as consent, menstruation, and gender stereotypes, as well as discussing sexual and reproductive health rights (S&RHR), helps in the battle against gender inequality and violence.

What do we do?
Mi Cuerpo/Min Krop is a Danish non-profit organization that facilitates rights-based and taboo free S&RHR programs in close partnership with our local partners, since 2017, working directly with teenagers and teachers at partner schools in and around Cali and Popayán, Colombia and in Querétaro, Mexico. We also facilitate material related to S&RHR to schools in order for them to brush up on, or further their knowledge on the subject.

How do we work?
We are a team of young teachers that work to facilitate S&RHR education programs at local partner schools and with local organizations in Colombia and Mexico.
We have a sex positive, inclusive approach and include a wide range of topics to expand the knowledge related to S&RHR education and gender equality.
We implement workshop programs directly with teenagers, their families and also train teachers through dynamic class teaching that focuses on group exercises and participative work.
Debunking myths is an important part of the work, therefore, creating a safe space to ask questions is vital to our approach.
