Vpershe

Vpershe is a female-led collective which operates an online platform that provides comprehensive sexual education to teenagers and youth in Ukraine. The organisation posts clearly written, scientifically relevant articles, offers an anonymous Q&A, and provides a platform for the voices of marginalised people (e.g. transgender people, gay people who have been to war, asexual people, HIV+ people). They also interact with their readers/viewers through online lives and webinars. Covid-19 has prevented the collective from giving lectures, as well as limited their ability to communicate with one another as the founders are based in different countries. Vpershe’s audience have also been affected, and the collective is working to focus their content on prioritising mental health and self-care during quarantine, as well as giving advice about dating and sex.
