Component map

After our research, we identified some standard components that build & affect the perception of sex, gender & sexuality in young adults.

Relationship map

I tried to map how the components relate to each other to identify the emerging causal loops.

Causal loop

Through this, we concluded that 'shame' associated with the topic is the main reason for the spread of misinformation & myths around sex.

Affinity map

Next, we took all the topics mentioned by the participants into the broader bucket to come up with topics that need to be covered in the curriculum.

What the solution needs to cover?

Solution

Digital Community

As part of forming a digital community, I came up with an app concept. This can act as a database & platform for people to learn, share & connect.

Account Setup

For parent & explorer. This page demands some info from the user to customize their experience

On boarding basics

These set of screens are for users to get an idea of the purpose of the app, & basics of what we are going to talk about.

Feed

Very similar to a familiar structure of a insta feed. This screen shows users resources based of their preferences out of the database.
On the top users can access their personal dashboard.
While on the bottom one can find the option to be a part of ongoing discussions, explore database for specific info & contacting an expert.

Discussion

Users can contribute or go through any on going discussions or start one of their own.

Search

Users can search & explore the database on their own, or look for any particular queries they might have.

Learnings

Systems thinking

It was overwhelming to collect & process this amount of information. Mapping was so helpful in not only segregating the info but making sense of it, by layering the data to understand the current scenario.

Sex & sexuality

Being so close to the target use group, I personally learned about a lot of new things related to the topics being addressed. It was surreal to listen to people's experiences, and that is where I think the idea of a community comes in.
