What is already being done:
University Education
- JCU - covers HIV/AIDS in fair depth, doctors interested in discussing FGM as a result of global health experiences
- Griffith - mainly related to infectious diseases and not much culturally regarding sexual health practices and not much in terms of public health
- Not much information about LGBTIQ issues provided in the course
- cultural taboos in cultures not being covered well and the possibilities available for medical treatment

3 things not HIV/AIDS
- LGBTIQ health/sexual/issues + particularly gender reassignment
- cultural competency in dealing with contraception and a basic understanding of practices (e.g. FGM) + clinical skills in sexual health history taking
- Environmental impact of female menstrual products, not all communities are necessarily equipped with resources in place to deal with wastes it produces, this can be combined with Code Green and general information about envrionmentally sustainable communities

# data[].attributes.body
- Days for Girls
- Zonta Birthing Kits
- understanding sexual identities --> Definitions. legal, ethic, medical complications. understanding the transitions. About surgery. Working this into the curriculum

Issues/programs:
.Abortion - access to services
.Redaware (discontinued program) - training on STI, contraception, education for young people
.Teach for teacher - work with Melb Uni masters of teaching for sex-ed trainig
.Domestic violence

What could be added to curriculum:
.Who to refer to/pathways for sexual support services
.transgender cultural sensitivity, how to approach the topic in clinical practice.
.How different population groups are affected differently
.how to approach difficult problems in personal/sexual encounters - ?framework

What AMSA GH could help with:
.promote top ?3 initiatives for greater awareness (regular posts of infographics on each state's progress to show how we're doing towards meeting objectives). increasing promotion of red party ?redweek - coordinate within states, interstate...though difficult logistically
.?expanding red party/events part of red party to other health science/courses attendees
.push for topics to be added to curriculum in the long term. creating policy re:topics to be added to curriculum that universities should try to meet
.in the short term create a bank of resources for pathways to deal with issues in community setting - readily accessible for students or AMSA reps to be presented back to interested members of GHG
.upskill delegates at conferences/other events (workshops, seminars) on how to approach variety of situations
