We provide dynamic workshops created to boost learning, free online informational material, online material created for students 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, 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 sexual health education programs in close partnership with our local partner, since 2017, working directly with teenagers and teachers at partner schools in and around Cali and Popayán, Colombia and in Querétaro, Mexico. We also donate books and facilitate material related to sexual and reproductive health 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 free sexual and reproductive health education workshops 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 sexual and reproductive health education and gender equality.
​
We implement workshops directly with teenagers, but also train teachers through dynamic class teaching that focuses on group exercises and participative work.
