Ecole 42

February 2026

On February 26th, we organized an awareness session on Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) at Ecole 42. This activity was open to everyone, but the participants were exclusively male. Their large turnout clearly demonstrates their desire to learn more about sexual health and better understand the issues related to STIs. The session was particularly dynamic, marked by numerous exchanges, relevant questions, and genuine interest in the topics covered: modes of transmission, means of prevention, the importance of testing, and individual responsibility. The discussions helped to break down some taboos, correct misconceptions, and encourage safer and more responsible behaviors. We commend the participants' commitment and curiosity, which show that young men also want to be proactive about their health and better informed in order to protect themselves and others.
