Developing a messaging framework with Frontline AIDS and partners
I helped Frontline AIDS and its partners develop evidence-based messages that advocates can use to counter misinformation about comprehensive sexuality education.

Comprehensive sexuality education teaches young people about their bodies, relationships and rights. It equips and empowers them with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to make informed choices about their health, dignity and wellbeing.
But around the world, misinformation is growing. Well-funded anti-rights actors, largely coordinated by conservative groups in the US, are targeting comprehensive sexuality education in an attempt to roll back progress. Pushing an abstinence-only agenda, they are expanding their influence throughout Africa.
In this challenging landscape, knowing how to position and promote comprehensive sexuality education is vital. That’s why I was proud to work with Frontline AIDS in developing a Comprehensive Sexuality Education Messaging Framework for Advocates. The framework offers clear, evidence-based messages to counter false narratives spread by opposition groups. Developed by Frontline AIDS and its partners in 2025, it will help put HIV prevention and rights at the centre of national responses.
