The Sweetest Taboo: LBTQ Sexual Health Research

​

In 2024, Tamùkke conducted pioneering research into the sexual health experiences of lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer female-identified Guyanese. "The Sweetest Taboo" documents critical gaps in sex education access, the impact of stigma on healthcare seeking, and the urgent need for inclusive sexual health resources in Guyana. Based on interviews with 28 LBTQ women across eight regions, this report centers voices systematically excluded from sexual health conversations and provides evidence-based recommendations for education reform, healthcare provider training, and community-led interventions.
