NGO “Not in Whispers”
Not in Whispers expands access to evidence-based sexuality education, works to prevent violence, develops psychological and psychosexual support, and drives systemic change in communities.
Love means teaching safety
We speak openly about the body, boundaries, consent, relationships and safety, so that people of all ages have the knowledge to make responsible decisions, can recognise risks and know where to turn for support.
We work in an evidence-based, age-appropriate way, with respect for the dignity and experience of every person.
Evidence-based
We rely on research and international education standards, not on guesses and fears.
No shame, no scare tactics
We talk about the body and boundaries directly, without using fear or guilt to make the point.
Timely
A conversation before something happens, not after. Prevention works where a response would already be too late.
Areas of work
We work to prevent and counter gender-based, domestic and sexual violence. The four areas reinforce one another: individuals gain knowledge, institutions gain systems, and society gains new norms.
