Press release

Menstruation, body, sex. That "can't be helped" is surely inevitable at all. Workshop DAY1 will be held at NEW PEACE Inc. office (Meguro) on 5/15 (Sun)

Future Design Shibuya with Necuino Co., Ltd., which develops the online pill prescription service "Smarna", reconsidered the "scolding" related to the body and sex, and launched for a healthier future than now "#Shikatanakunai Project. When it was launched in December 2021, we jacked the area around Shibuya Station with outdoor advertisements of "#Shikatanakunai" with 12 themes, and distributed about 8,000 copies of the original magazine that was launched at the same time in front of Shibuya 109.

Then, from May 2022, the implementation activity "Sex Co-education Project" will start, focusing on "there is #Shikatanakunai to put off sex education in this country" out of 12 themes.

In addition to sexual education in limited schools and companies, companies, students, specialists, and doctors will introduce a new genre of "sex" co-creation "that allows them to learn and deepen each other more closely across positions and generations. Approximately 20 volunteers, including the above, will co-create and expand from Shibuya Ward. At SOCIAL INNOVATION WEEK SHIBUYA 2022 in November of the same year, we plan to hold a monthly workshop from May 15 with the aim of presenting content / products from a new perspective of "sexual co-education."

What is a sexual co-education project?

While actively engaged in sex education around the world, it has been pointed out in recent years that sex education efforts have been postponed in Japan. However, there are limits to what a school or company can change on its own.

It is not a manual "education" by a teacher, but a "co-education" that deepens what you really want to know on a daily basis, without barriers for adults and children. That may be the key to raising the standard in the sexual field. In order to prove such a hypothesis, we will seek out "sexual co-education" and aim to update society by putting it into shape.

A project orientation was held in January to create a project with diverse perspectives, rather than just sexual education for majority, which disregards the diversity of sexual minorities and people with disabilities. Among the participants, volunteers with various perspectives and specialties, such as those involved in sexual minorities, people with disabilities welfare facilities, active students, obstetricians and gynecologists, sex education instructors, and companies, are members. Welcomed to.

At the first workshop on 5/15, what is lacking in sex education in Japan with the theme of "exploring the possibility of sexual co-education" for content production? Will be discussed.

Comment from Kenichi Ishii, CEO of Nekuino Co., Ltd.

Many companies, organizations, and individuals have asked us, "We want to do something," and "What should we #Shikatanakunai?" For the project that was launched in December last year. Thinking about how to express such voices in the values we value, we gathered under the name of "Sex Education" as a flagship project. We would like to create new value with the people who received it. We would like to share the progress of the project with everyone on a regular basis and report the results at SIW in November 2022.

What is the "#Shikatanakunai" project?

Nekuino Inc. has developed an online pill prescription service "Smaruna" with the mission of "creating a world where the mind and body are healthy and can choose a life that is unique to me", eliminating the patience and giving up of "no choice". Has provided services aimed at realizing sexual and reproductive health / rights (SRHR: sexual and reproductive health and rights) in order to lead a life that is unique to us. Through the development / deployment of the service, many people directly said, "I go to work because I don't want to bother people around me even if I'm not feeling well." While hearing the voice saying, "I can't improve my career if I give birth," I felt that now is the time to face the fact that we have given up "there is no choice" without realizing it.

By visualizing the "unavoidable" related to sex and body, and creating opportunities for everyone to discuss and think, we will change it to "unavoidable". We are launching a project with the slogan "#Shikatanakunai" so that everyone, not just the parties concerned, can think about it.
