We are The Eddystone Trust and we believe that the topic of "sex" doesn't have to be the elephant in the room. It's our view that experiencing positive sexual health should be a right for everyone, including you.

Global health inequalities affecting women remain a significant issue. In the sexual health sector, women and girls are disproportionately affected by inequalities in healthcare, which can increase their risk of HIV and limit access to prevention, testing and treatment in many parts of the world.
