Engaging event centered around adolescent sexual health: "Discussion on Adolescent Sexual Well-being: Let's Get Talking!"
On September 18, 2025, the Women's Health working group is set to host a conference in Herford, Germany, aiming to address the crucial topic of youth sexual health. The event will take place at the Herford County Administration Building (Amtshausstraße 3, 32051 Herford) and is a full-day affair, beginning at 8:30 AM.
The conference invites educators, school social workers, and other professionals to join a comprehensive discussion on sexual health, an area that is often not fully addressed in schools. The program covers essential topics like sexual education fundamentals, managing digital risks, and medical focuses such as endometriosis.
Approximately two million women in Germany suffer from endometriosis, a chronic condition that often begins in youth. Endometriosis can significantly impact school life, and the conference aims to provide practical insights and guidance on this matter.
The digital dimension has brought about new challenges for youth, with topics like sexting and cyberbullying becoming common in classrooms. The conference will delve into these issues, offering strategies for mitigating risks and promoting a safe and supportive learning environment.
Expert speakers from gynecology, diakonisches Werk, pro familia, the county health department, and school social work will share their knowledge and experience, ensuring a well-rounded and informative event. Networking is a key aspect of the conference, encouraging educators and school social workers to connect with attending counseling services and each other.
The conference is free to attend, making it accessible to all those who wish to participate. With nearly one-third of youth reporting unintentional exposure to sexual content online and over 300,000 new chlamydia infections nationwide each year, particularly affecting youth and young adults, the need for such a conference is evident.
The Women's Health working group is committed to improving the sexual health of youth, and this conference is a significant step towards achieving that goal. It is an opportunity for professionals to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on finding solutions to the challenges faced by today's youth.
