Mother, mentor, entrepreneur: How one woman is changing lives in Benin

The community sessions run by Akimatou, as well as her training, are part of a comprehensive sexuality education initiative in Benin run by UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, which is the sexual and reproductive health agency of the UN. The project is innovative and community-led, engaging parents, teachers, students, employers, graffiti artists, religious leaders and many more to help people learn about the emotional, physical and social aspects of sexuality, providing them with the knowledge to protect their health and well-being.
