青躍 Teen’s Key
青躍於 2010 年在紫藤的支持下成立,直接支援參與性工作的青少女,同時亦為公眾提供性 與性別意識教育。為回應這一代的青少女需要,我們希望透過工作坊、小組工作等引導她 們認識自我,建立正確的性別意識價值觀,並提升她們於兩性關係的自我保護能力。我們 希望可以成為先鋒的角色,為青少年性工作者提供最切合他們的支援服務,協助她們探索 未來路向;及透過不同的公眾教育,消除社會人士對從事性工作行業的人,特別是青少年 性工作者的標籤。
Teen’s Key is established in 2010, with the support from Zi Teng. Teen’s Key’s primary goal is to support young female sex workers, and also to raise gender awareness in society through sex and gender education. We realize that teenage girls nowadays are deeply influenced by myths and stereotypes in society about their bodies and sex, and lack knowledge about self-worth and autonomy over their bodies. For this, we have been organizing workshops and work-groups focusing on self-discovery and gender awareness, so that they can better situate and protect themselves in relationships. We believe that teenage girls have the right, and should be given the space, to understand and explore their own gender and sexuality. We hope to play the role of pioneers, to offer young sex workers the most suitable support and services, to help them explore future paths; through various public education programs, we hope to eliminate labels attached to all sex workers, especially those attached to young sex workers.
