BEHIND SHAG.
A CREATIVE platform for
EVERYONE
Founded in 2017, SHAG is an independent movement of young creatives who want to change the way we speak about sex, gender, our bodies and health.
We are a creative platform where young adults express,
engage and educate one another in sexual health,
relationships and sexual politics.
We aim for our platform to be as open as possible to anyone and everyone, a safe space to speak about the issues that affect young adults today.

Want to work with us?
Or just follow us
Growing up we were badly served by the education system which completely neglects the sexual health education.
There was no discussion or safe space where my friends and I could speak about sex and relationships, with people that spoke the language of our generation.
We want you to be part of the conversation and welcome you to contribute your words, art, music, thoughts and anything else you believe needs a platform.
Contact us via our email or on our social medias found at the bottom of the page.
Shag is whatever you need or want it to be.
It's fluid and constantly changing, reflecting a generation that demands more.
