Hello, I’m Azra—host, producer, and somebody who genuinely believes that when younger folks converse up, the world shifts. I’m additionally a youth advocate with IPD (Member Affiliation of IPPF EN) from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the present Chair of the YSAFE Steering Committee. On this article I wish to share the expertise of manufacturing a youth-led podcast on intercourse positivity, gender equality and SRHR. The podcast’s title is Sex Positivitea with YSAFE.
Intercourse Positivitea began as a small concept and shortly turned one of the highly effective tasks I’ve ever had the privilege to guide. I bear in mind nervously recording our first episode, uncertain if anybody would pay attention. Quick ahead to now—season 4—and I’m nonetheless amazed by the conversations we’re having and the connections we’re making.
This podcast is a love letter to each younger one that’s ever felt ignored of the dialog about their very own physique, identification, or rights.
It’s not good. But it surely’s actual, uncooked, and completely youth-powered.
So, what’s brewing this season?
We’re speaking concerning the issues that always get whispered about—or worse, ignored totally. However we don’t whisper on Intercourse Positivitea. We converse up, loudly and unapologetically. Season 4 shines a highlight on tales from younger activists who’re difficult norms, reshaping their communities, and exhibiting what actual management seems like.
We dive into why Complete Sexuality Training issues—not simply in colleges, however in all of the areas the place younger folks study, dwell, and develop. It’s training that saves lives, fosters consent, and empowers younger folks to form their future. We unpack the myths and supply trustworthy truths about how consuming issues have an effect on younger folks and listen to from folks residing with endometriosis, sharing their tales of ache, perseverance, and navigating programs that too usually fail them.
What this podcast has taught me.
For me, Intercourse Positivitea isn’t only a venture. It’s an area the place I’ve grown as an activist, a storyteller, and as an individual. Producing Intercourse Positivitea has proven me that youth-led media is greater than a development. It’s a necessity. Our voices carry reality, nuance, and energy that nobody else can replicate. We’re not ready for permission anymore—we’re grabbing the microphone and converse out on our personal phrases.
4 seasons later, it nonetheless blows my thoughts that persons are tuning in from throughout Europe and Central Asia to listen to what we’ve got to say. Each episode is written, recorded, and produced by younger volunteers—no filters, no gatekeeping, simply us speaking concerning the issues we want we had discovered earlier.
Engaged on this podcast has been one of the empowering components of my activism journey.
It’s a wild mixture of vulnerability and satisfaction, each single time we publish one other episode.
To conclude, I believe that youth-led media like Intercourse Positivitea aren’t simply “good to have.” They’re vital. They’re proof that younger folks don’t have to sit down and watch for establishments to care—we will make our personal platforms, construct our personal narratives, and invite others in. That’s the facility of youth organizing, and that’s why I’ll at all times consider on this work.
