The NGO Autismo Guinea Ecuatorial has carried out its third community activity under the UE-3 Project, managed by Sldeas Infantiles (AISOS) and funded by the European Union. The event took place in Potao, Equatorial Guinea, and was attended by adolescents, young people, and elderly residents. The community meeting was presided over by the President of Potao and included local leaders and party representatives.
The activity focused on raising awareness about the importance of addressing sexual and reproductive health within the family environment. The organization promoted information, prevention, and protection as essential tools for individual and collective well-being. The event used a participatory theater workshop approach, allowing participants to share experiences, express knowledge, and reflect on sexual education practices within families.
The workshop considered cultural influences and inherited behavioral patterns. Participants shared their experiences and perceptions on how these topics are addressed in their families. The discussion generated a space for dialogue and reflection on the need to strengthen sexual and reproductive education based on adequate information, risk prevention, and protection, particularly among adolescents and young people.
Autismo Guinea Ecuatorial also informed the community about procedures and mechanisms for vulnerable families to access support for medication financing and psycho-emotional accompaniment. This support is particularly aimed at families with children affected by sickle cell anemia, epilepsy, and albinism. The organization is committed to community sensitization and promoting sexual and reproductive health.
The activity was part of the UE-3 Project, which aims to improve the well-being of communities in Equatorial Guinea. Autismo Guinea Ecuatorial's efforts focus on empowering families and promoting inclusive and healthy environments. The organization works to address the specific needs of vulnerable populations.
By using a participatory approach, Autismo Guinea Ecuatorial encourages community members to take an active role in promoting sexual health and family protection. The organization believes that this approach will lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes. The activity in Potao is part of a larger effort to improve community well-being.
Autismo Guinea Ecuatorial's commitment to community sensitization and health promotion is ongoing. The organization plans to continue its activities in various communities, addressing topics such as sexual health, family protection, and support for vulnerable populations. The UE-3 Project will continue to play a significant role in these efforts.
