When Siti Aishah Hassan Hasri takes her sexuality education programmes into Malaysia’s primary schools, it’s not unusual to hear classrooms full of nine-year-olds screaming out the words “vagina”, “vulva” and “penis”. This is part of her mission to remove the embarrassment and stigma that surround sex education. As she takes her programme up through different age groups, she will run through different scenarios; for example, what should a girl do when a partner refuses to put on a condom?
The programmes are delivered through her organisation Spot Community Project, which she launched in Malaysia in 2015.
