Nagsagawa ng isang seminar ang Philippine Australian Association of the ACT and Monaro sa Canberra upang basagin ang stigma at talakayin ang kahalagahan ng sexual health.
Key Points
- Binigyang-diin ng mga organiser na sina Marlene Tucker at Erico Nidea-Soliman na mahalagang malampasan ang cultural stigma at taboo upang maikintal ang sexual health bilang bahagi ng pangkalahatang kagalingan.
- Pinangunahan nina Dr. Ming Lee at Dr. Luke Cannon ang pagtalakay sa kalusugan, contraception, at pag-aalis ng mga maling akala sa sexual health.
- Inihayag ng mga eksperto na maraming libreng serbisyo at suporta ang available para sa pagsusuri at gamot, maging para sa mga walang Medicare.
A lot of these sexually transmitted diseases may not have any symptoms. You will only know if you have tested. And we have to destigmatise these issues... It's all part of taking care of yourself.Marlene Tucker, Philippine Australian Association of the ACT and Monaro President
It's so hard because I think it's something to do with the way how we're raised... being religious, it's never been spoken on the table where we're as a family... It's just kind of the cultural norm... but it's important, because it's all about well-being.Erico Nidea-Soliman, Philippine Australian Association of the ACT and Monaro
