Social Norms
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Adolescent Forum 42: Providing Comprehensive Sexuality Education

0 comments
This edition of the Adolescent Forum provides websites, publications, curricula and lists of organisations that offer information on comprehensive sexuality education. It advocates against an abstinence-only approach, pointing out that an extensive body of scientific research has proven that this approach to sexuality education has not been effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies and protecting youth from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), publisher of this resource, seeks to empower young people with information and skills to enjoy a healthy sexual life whether they choose abstinence or engage in sex.
