Whenever I speak to younger audiences, I can almost never assume that they've received proper sex education in the past," says sexuality educator Karishma Swarup. On Instagram, Swarup goes by the username @talkyounevergot, and for the past year through this platform, has been trying to reach out to younger audiences and teach them about safe and inclusive sexual practices. "When I taught high school students in the US, I found that the content material was of a level that people in India hadn't come in contact with even at college," she shares.

On November 13, Swarup will conduct the Sex Ed Basics workshop, a web-based, queer and trans affirmative and culturally responsive sex education session, to teach concepts like sexuality, basic anatomy, pleasure, STIs, contraception and more. It's set to be a safe space that welcomes all those with questions and doubts, for a comfortable interaction about comprehensive sex education. Registrations for the workshop have also been announced, with a limited seating of 20 persons for the two-hour long
virtual session.
