Not Your Usual Subjects

View knowledge product

“Not Your Usual Subjects” is a podcast series created by young people addressing COVID-19’s impact on longstanding Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) issues affecting youth. The series aims to reach policymakers, practitioners, youth, and the wider public. It places young people’s stories at its core, both in terms of content and its youth-designed, youth-led podcast production. The series comprises six podcasts, each focusing on pressing yet under-reported thematic SRHR issues: sexual pleasure; Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression (SOGIE) rights; violence; sex work; self-managed abortion; and SRHR in humanitarian settings.

All episodes of the podcast can be found on Stories to Action’s website

All episodes are also available on Spotify

In addition to the podcast, an evidence brief encompassing the key learnings from the podcast content and overarching recommendations in both English and French (see below). 

For an additional look into the process of these knowledge products, check out the recording of the listening party from the 10th of February 2022, which includes reflections from the Not Your Usual Subjects team on their learning throughout the production process:
