ABOUT THE PODCAST 

Not Your Usual Subjects brings you fresh and unheard youth voices and perspectives on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on long-standing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues through a six-part youth-led podcast series. Together we will dive deep into important yet under-reported themes: sexual pleasure; Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) rights and violence; sex work; self-managed abortion; SRHR and disability; and SRHR in humanitarian settings. Not Your Usual Subjects aims to center youth voices and engage  policymakers, researchers, practitioners, youth and the wider public to ‘build back better’ as we live in and transition out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
