Women's Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West have joined forces with Moments Condoms to supply Port Fairy businesses with condoms during this weekend's folk festival.
Women's Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West chief executive Emma Mahony said condom access in Port Fairy was really poor and wanted to ensure they were available to the public, while also encouraging conversations around safe, consensual sex.
She said the service's work centered around equality and respectful relationships and an important part of that was how to navigate safe intimacies. The campaign isn't limited to a specific age or demographic.
"We have to make it less of a taboo and less of something we have judgement about," she said. Free condoms are available from Evolve, Pash, Eco Tuk, Love Her Madly, The Star of the West and The Stump hotels.
