We are GESE Africa.
Who Is Gese?
GESE was founded in 2019 with the idea, that everyone should have the right to make profound decisions about their sexual behavior.
In 2012, co-founder Marie Gabel was involved in an international sex education project.
During this project, her close interaction with young students showed her that there are many myths surrounding contraception and sexual intercourse circulating, particularly in emerging and developing countries. For example, the high number of unintentional child-pregnancies results of common beliefs such as “Coke is an appropriate contraceptive”
. However, far more severe myths are ones like “Bleach is a suitable abortion drug” or “By having sexual intercourse with a virgin, one is cured of the AIDS virus”.
we believe every child deserves access to knowledge that empowers them to live healthy, confident, and equal lives.
