Talking about pleasure, desire and good sex is the content that young people repeatedly call for. In this video, Mahmoud Garga, IPPF Africa Region Lead Communication, and Mark Kaigwa, Founder and CEO of NENDO Agency, present the Treasure Your Pleasure campaign at the International Conference on Family Planning – Pattaya, Thailand 2022.  This pleasure-focused online campaign aims to bring more young people to reproductive health services through a fun, honest and real conversation about what they want [rather than what they should avoid].
