chemsex debate

A night about CHEMSEX:
For some it’s fucking fun, to many a pleasurable experience with few downsides, for others a matter of struggle and shame.

Chemsex is in our community and it appears it’s here to stay.

What is the state of play after the corona lockdowns?
Which issues are important to discuss and how can we do that without passing judgment?
How do we make sure that current and factual information on mixing chems and drugs reaches the right people?

Church wants to keep the conversation about chemsex going, as a community.

We’ll hear from experts by experience, researchers and care professionals.

Let’s break down the barriers and stigmas surrounding chemsex together, in order to keep it sexy.

From: 20-22 uur, doors open 19:30
