Schools’ gynae health education programme launched.

News - 8 August 2022

Eveappeal are delighted to launch our free, interactive, health-education lesson plans for young people aged 7-13, covering the topics anatomy, menstrual health, HPV and cancer.

Research (Yougov, 2022) found that only 9% of people were taught about gynaecological health in their Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) lessons at school, and 8% said their parents were easy to talk to about gynae health. The Know Your Body programme was created to change that so the next generation have a greater awareness of gynaecological health and are empowered to look after it throughout their life, with the building blocks needed to know their body, notice any changes that might be the sign of something of wrong, and feel empowered to seek medical help. All of the resources ‘normalise’ the topics and seek address the stigma that starts a young age around these issues. 

The lessons are free and available to download from knowyourbodylessons.org, and can be used by anyone, whether a teacher, youth worker, parent or young person- take a look and help empower the next generation.

 

The area of gynaecological education was highlighted in the recent Women’s Health Strategy. We hope these evidence-based and expert resources will begin addressing the current information gaps for children, teachers and parents.
