This international Women’s day, Women’s Health and Equality Queensland has launched the campaign advocating for young women to have skills and knowledge to take control of their mental and physical wellbeing. 

The My Body, My Choice campaign targets women aged 12-24 and focuses on women’s mental wellbeing, sex, consent and relationships, body image and the media. 

The campaign is in response to the alarming statistics surrounding young women and their wellbeing.

The Wire’s Chloe White spoke with CEO of Women’s Health and Equality Emma Iwinska on the importance of young women and girls to have the skills and knowledge to take control of their mental health and wellbeing, and use this to navigate their life.
