Feb 14th is National Condom Day!
It’s getting to that time of year again! National Condom Day is almost upon us, landing on February 14th, Wednesday 2024. Sharing the date with Valentines Day, National Condom Day is an opportunity to celebrate safer sex and relationships. At SHQ we believe everyone has the right to learn about sexual health so that we can have healthy relationships, and safe, consensual, and pleasurable sex.
We’ve decided to go back to the basics for our 2024 campaign, but with a little spin on it! People sometimes don’t know how to bring up the topic of condoms with a partner, and it might be difficult to find the right way to just ask – do you have a condom?
Taking part in our National Condom Day campaign provides community with an opportunity to learn about condoms and safer sex, and to discuss and ask questions. Displaying posters, handing out condoms and stickers is a great way to open these discussions.
Our free resources (yes, free!) for 2024 include different translations of the phrase ‘do you have a condom?’. Our resource packs are now out of stock, but if you would like to download our poster or social media graphic, you can do so below.
Is there a translation on our poster that you’d like to add? Let us know using the form below and we will add it to the page!
