Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights for All

Rutgers launches the video series “Five unread messages"

Rutgers has launched the video series “Five unread messages”. His Majesty the King was the first to be presented with the video series. In the series “Five unread messages”, 22-year-old Anne Bosveld addresses letters to five young people, hailing from all parts of the world. Are you curious too?

Forced Migration & SRHR

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are essential parts of everyone’s life. However, in the current national and international refugee crisis, SRHR is hardly recognized in humanitarian programmes. The Rutgers programme Forced Migration & SRHR, works to embed, integrate and mainstream SRHR programming in humanitarian settings, for young people, women and men.

Comprehensive Sexuality Education

Young people are naturally curious about sex and sexuality. Rutgers asserts the right of young people to receive adequate education to make well-informed choices in relationships and their sexual lives. Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) means providing information and guidance about the physical and emotional aspects of growing up and starting relationships.

Internet raises the bar for first-time sex in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands young people these days start to have sex later, according to the research ‘Sex under 25’ carried out in 2017. More recent qualitative research by Rutgers among young people showed that social media in many ways plays an important role. The fact that the legal drinking age was raised in the Netherlands is also of influence. It appears that young people also attach great importance to the experience of first-time sex, and would rather experience this within a relationship.
