Non-profit, Girl Effect, provides education and support to young women around STI's and HIV.

The campaign coincides with STI and Condom Week. It provides accessible health services, education, and mental wellness support to address issues around HIV. There should be more people teaching young people about HIV, we can’t just move on with life. Young people need to understand that using condoms is helpful, we’re not saying that we shouldn’t have fun but they need to be responsible about it and be wise about it and have responsible fun.
It is campaigns like this that help us to be aware of our irresponsibility. Young women need to understand the importance of condoms. Maybe government can also come in and ensure that the clinic is closer to young people.”
