Cynthia Kpalete, a sixth-year medical student, General Treasurer of Medical Students for Choice and member of the YHM4S4 network who joined the workshop, explained that the aim of the CSE was to “contribute to a tolerant, open and respectful social climate, to foster respect for sexual diversity and to ensure that one’s choices do not harm others. It is composed of various themes such as gender, sexual and reproductive health and rights, HIV, sexual pleasure and fulfilment, sexual diversity, interpersonal relationships, and violence”.
