How would Filipino teens navigate adolescence in a society that doesn’t acknowledge all parts of it? This is the same situation Joan, Nicole, and Andrei found themselves in—facing fears of an unexpected pregnancy, uncertain HIV status, first sexual feelings and afraid to ask for help. This story explores the experiences of Filipino teens while navigating sexual health amid stigma, and educating readers on modern contraceptives and their vital role in adolescent health.
The Mission
We believe Filipino youths deserve clear, honest information about modern contraceptives and reproductive health. But stigma and lack of education leaves them afraid and uninformed, often resulting in teenage pregnancy and STIs. Through a graphic novel with themes of reproductive health, we aim to raise awareness, spark discourse, and empower youth by educating them on modern contraceptives, why they matter, and empower them to make informed decisions.
