Music and condoms help raise awareness on SRH

SKANDERBORG, Denmark – For the second year in a row UNFPA’s Nordic Office participated actively in the Skanderborg music festival in Denmark. Trained volunteers distributed condoms and raised awareness of UNFPA’s work around the world on sexual and reproructive health (SRH).

UNFPA collaborated with the Danish family planning association, Sex & Samfund, to set up a common stand – a ‘condom booth’ – in the main festival area. During the festivities, a constant stream of visitors engaged in games and quizzes to win condoms.

During the festival, several artists also visited the condom booth, either to play music or donate merchandise for competition prizes. More than 25,000 condoms were handed out by volunteers during the five-day festival.
