Clergy and youth leaders who attended the launch of the EVERY campaign in Antrim on January 19 were presented with some shocking statistics regarding teenagers and relationships.
The EVERY campaign was launched by Love for Life in partnership with Engage Connor Youth and Ripple Childrens’ Ministry.
The campaign is a response to a changing culture, with teenagers growing up in a sexual landscape which presents them with a confusing range of voices and opinions.
EVERY offers resources to help clergy and parish teams engage with the important conversations about relationships and sex.
Judith Cairns, CEO, Love for Life, speaks at the launch in Connor Diocese.
Judith Cairns and Graham Hare introduced the campaign at the Connor launch in Antrim Parish Centre. Among the statistics highlighted are:
- 90% of young people feel under pressure to have sex
- 1 in 3 teenagers in Northern Ireland have sent or received an indecent image on their mobile phone
- 29% of 15-year-old boys access pornography every day.
Those who attended the campaign launch heard that the Church has an important role to play. For further information about the campaign, visit www.loveforlife.org.uk.
