Some conversations have the power to shape a young person’s future, and our latest community engagement marked the beginning of one of those conversations.
On 18 July 2026, 15 curious and enthusiastic teenagers gathered at PADI’s space in the Bukit Jalil Community Centre for the first session of My Body My Rules, a comprehensive sexuality education programme designed for youth aged 13 to 17. This introductory session was the first of 12 interactive modules that will explore important topics including their bodies, relationships, rights, health and personal safety in a safe and respectful environment.
Working in small groups, participants raised thoughtful and honest questions about their rights, health, safety and growing up. These questions will help the MAU team tailor and prioritise discussions in upcoming sessions, ensuring the programme remains relevant to what matters most to them.
Their willingness to speak up was incredibly encouraging. The curiosity and openness they demonstrated reflected the trust that had already begun to form in just one session. As the workshop came to a close, participants described feeling "happy," "comfortable," and "curious", a promising start to what we hope will be a meaningful learning journey that empowers young people with accurate knowledge, critical thinking and the confidence to make informed decisions.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back for Session 2 on 8 August 2026.
