Sex Education

Prevention Meets Fashion (PMF) Sex Education Program provides comprehensive sex education to Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQ+, and non-binary communities. This is vital because historically these communities have and continue to face racism, discrimination, violence, and trauma.We cover a wide range of topics in our Sex Education Program including:

• Sex and Sexuality

• Sexual Health (condoms, masturbation, STIs/STDs, including HIV and AIDS)

• Reproductive Health and Justice (e.g. reproductive coercion)

• Human Development

• Healthy Relationships (consent, dating, and sexual and gender-based violence etc.)

• Kink and BDSM

• Sexual Communication

• Exploring bias, values and beliefs

• Gender roles, norms and culture

• And more…

  *** HIV Self-Testing, COVID At-Home, and Narcan Kits Available Now!*** Test in the comfort of their own home or safer space.

PMF has several projects that we offering to the community:

The Sex Worker Prevention Project, is a comprehensive, multi-layered project that is part of our endeavors to address the lack of women (cis and trans identities) specific information around HIV and prevention services for those in the sex industry. The project will offer paid internships for Black trans and gender non-conforming individuals that meets participants immediate needs while creating pathways for future employment by bolstering the resumes and creating references for people who are often unable to access traditional employment.

The GBV Prevention Project is for youth ages 12-24 years old. The project is a youth-centered, trauma-informed project that engages youth, especially Black and LGBTQ+ youth in Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention efforts, education and healing work. The project has since expanded to folks older than 24 years old.

The Monkeypox Outreach Project (M.O.P) will focus on increasing community awareness and education around monkeypox (MPX) to the general public, specifically those most impacted MPX such as LGBTQ+ and sex work communities.
