5 months of work with 5 live sessions!!!
Last session of Online Sexual Health Conference Series.
It was full of laughter, entertainment and information.
Early this year, I experienced sexual assault, actually i experienced it many times throughout different stage of my life.
I am sick of it !!!Because of the pain caused by the unpleasant experience, I educated myself on sexual health and sex education, and discovered that there are so many people out there especially women have sort of similar experience.
I decided to put together information, data and facts from different research to create a project proposal for a sexual health conference which aims to educate international students especially.
I submitted the proposal to every organization I know and everyone in my connection asking for support. After rejection after another, finally some organizations and friends saw the values of the project I aspire to create.
Today sexual health conference not only happened but it has reach many thousand lives on social media and I believe it will continue to grow.I would like to thanks to all of our organizing mainly CISA. Our supporters including Study Melbourne, VIC Women Trust and VIC Uni.
