Islamic Sexuality

Muslim youth on campus are in need of healthy and religiously sensitive sexual health information, that would support their navigation of situations and empower their mental health from a promotion and prevention standpoint. While smaller scale initiatives around sexual health have been initiative (i.e. a monthly group for Muslim women out of the Women’s Resource Centre), we are leaving the majority of students out because of the exclusivity of such initiatives. The purpose of this event is to ultimately create a safe space where healthy discussions about sexuality can be held from Islamic, health and education based perspectives. This event is part of the Sexual and Gender Wellness Week (https://www.su.ucalgary.ca/sexweek)
