Body Talk (BT)
Country: Indonesia
Location(s): Maluku, South Sulawesi, North Sumatra, and East Nusa Tenggra Province
The primary focus of the Body Talk Project is to empower young people with disabilities and those affected by leprosy to gain knowledge and make informed choices about sexuality and relationships. Additionally, the project aims to equip parents/caregivers, teachers, service providers, and advocacy groups with the necessary knowledge and skills to support these young individuals in making informed decisions. Furthermore, the project seeks to mobilize interest groups to advocate for better care and education in the field of sexuality and relationships for young people with disabilities and those affected by leprosy, urging the government to prioritize this crucial aspect of their well-being.
This project has entered the No Cost Extension phase, with only a few remaining activities to be completed. The program period will end in Q2 (May/June) 2025. The project will be further developed into BT second-phase project, with the proposal currently under review and finalization with the donor (LF).
