Objectives
By the end of this session , participants should be able to articulate the relationship between sexual activity and drug use and be able to describe at least three harm reduction strategies for sex workers .
Expected time of activity : 20 minutes
This session is intended to provide more information on drug use , safer sex and sex work . It is an extension of the last couple of sessions . We do not provide activities for this session , as we think it is best if you simply present to the group and facilitate discussion . We seek to employ the principles of harm reduction when examining the linkages between drug use and sexual health . You will explore the following issues alongside the participants of the training : How does drug use affect sexual health ? How would harm reduction strategies be useful when dealing with sexual health issues ? How do these issues particularly affect young people ?
After reviewing the information provided below with the group , get into a discussion of the topic by tackling stigma and discrimination affecting young people , in particular young drug users and sex workers . Visit the next session materials for activities about stigma .
