Your Rights 

You have a lot of rights, here are some of them.

  • have relationships with other people
  • be treated with kindness and respect
  • have some privacy and space to yourself
  • feel safe wherever you are
  • be believed and helped if you have been sexually abused or assaulted
  • get information in ways you understand
  • express your sexuality and enjoy a sex life.

What is sexuality?

Sexuality is not just about sex. Sexuality is about who we are as people and feeling good about ourselves.

We feel good about ourselves when we:

  • Do things that we enjoy.
  • Take care of ourselves.
  • Have healthy relationships with other people that make us feel happy.
  • Know what to do if people try to hurt us.
  • Ask for help when needed.

Responsibilities

Having rights means also having responsibilities.

You have the responsibility to:

  • look after yourself the best you can
  • treat other people with kindness and respect
  • practice safer sex
  • let other people have privacy and space to themselves
  • ask for help if you have problems
  • ask questions if you do not understand.
