USI will launch its annual SHAG (Sexual Health and Guidance) Week at 1pm on Monday (February 8) in DIT Bolton Street.

USI President, Peter Mannion, will officially launch this year’s campaign, the motto of which is “Whoever You Like, Love Safer Sex”.

Being showcased at the launch, will be three sexual health awareness video advertisements, which were put together by audio-visual students at the Institute of Technology Tallaght, especially for the campaign.

The world’s only sexual health magician, who has performed in colleges all over Ireland in recent years, will also perform at the event.

This will bring a humorous but serious message to students about sexual.

This year’s campaign will focus on opening up conversation among students in Ireland about sex and sexuality.

USI will be distributing 45,000 sexual health awareness packs across the country.

Each SHAG pack has a condom and information on contraception from thinkcontraception.ie, Durex and the Irish Family Planning Association.

All the information provided aims to help students have safer sex and make informed decisions regarding their contraceptive choices.
