"What we don't say becomes a secret, and secrets often create shame and fear and myths"
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, EVE ENSLER
SIMPLY: EROEDU was created out of a need to help others.
Through transforming harsh personal experiences related to growing up in an orthodox environment and not having access to adequate sex education, I wanted to create a tool which would allow people to learn about their bodies and reflect on social norms as well as prevent risky behaviours.
It began as a student project in Poland but then was turned into a business in Sweden. No matter where I am, the past stories remain a compass and motivate me to develop EROEDU further, making sure sex education becomes inclusive and accessible for all.

FROM THE SCRATCH
TOWARDS SUCCESS
EROEDU is a product offered by DESIGN FOR EQUALITY - a company based in Stockholm, Sweden. The toolkits are produced locally in Europe and shipped worldwide.
Until today, EROEDU has reached more than 1000 users in 5 countries on 2 continents. On top of selling toolkits, we also deliver speeches at medical and design conferences and sex education workshops for schools and various organisations.
Our mission is to make sex education inclusive (finally)!; to tackle taboos and to help communities that are at risk of marginalisation (EROEDU includes a non-binary perspective and a trans perspective).
