Look Both Ways
The mission of Look Both Ways is to improve the lives of youth by imparting the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions about their sexual health. We aim to inspire educators, empower youth and promote diversity by providing comprehensive reproductive health curriculum, resources and training to schools, educators and community groups.
The concept of Look Both Ways was created by Dr. Betsy Cairo, a reproductive biologist and educator. She had just attended an abstinence-only training course and couldn’t get this comparison out of her mind… “Abstinence-only programs are like telling your kids to only look one way when they cross the street. By focusing all of our attention in one direction, kids are blind-sided by the traffic coming from the opposite way the very moment they decide to step into the street.” This thought fueled Cairo to start an organization that teaches students to ‘look both ways’ at abstinence and at sexual activity. By focusing on science-based information about our bodies and the risks and responsibilities that come with being sexually active, Look Both Ways empowers students of every culture, religion, sexual orientation, and gender to make educated choices about their reproductive health
