Since September 2020, Mont-de-Marsan family planning has been open. Closed since 2017, the association was sorely lacking in volunteers. For Laura Cuzol, co-president of Mont-de-Marsan family planning, it takes more than 160 hours of training for a volunteer to become a listener in a planning.
Today, we only have one listening volunteer who has completed the “life educator” training. So we are filling the gap in volunteers.
To communicate around the return of family planning in Mont-de-Marsan and attract younger generations, the association proposed a project to rapper Virgil: make music!
A song to reassure young people
On the menu of this song, rap, a duet with 18-year-old Lilou and three themes covered: first sexual relations, assuming paternity and domestic violence.
So many themes addressed by Virgil, rapper from the Landes for more than 20 years. Having himself visited family planning when he was younger, it was important for him to reassure the younger generations about family planning.
Planned Parenthood contacted me to bring various Planned Parenthood functions into the song. And I said to myself that I will simplify things, to leave on created stories […] and on simple themes with which young people can identify.
In addition to explicit and reassuring lyrics, the rapper is not alone: he chose Lilou, 18, to perform the chorus of his song. One more way to reassure and encourage the younger generations to entrust themselves to family planning.
