Snapchat from the Closet by Oogachaga Counseling is a safe and confidential channel for teens to discover their sexuality.

The first sessions were in early April. Oogachaga and their partners spread the word on their social platforms the week before we started.

A team of expert counselors sat in a room for 4 hours every night.

The response was overwhelming. As the days went by, more and more users came seeking for advice.

It started as a pilot but the response was such that it became an ongoing initiative.

An average of 20 users are showing up for every session.

Some looking for simple answers, others for advice on how to come out or just someone to share their anguish safely and secretly.

Lonely, doubtful teens needed a safe and confidential environment to discover their sexuality.

No channel was better for that than Snapchat, somewhere they are already familiar with and where conversations disappear right after you read them.

We reached for teenagers where they already are and feel comfortable at: Snapchat.

They asked. We answered. And it all disappeared in 3 seconds.

Singapore is proud to be one of the most developed countries in the world and still, you might be committing a criminal offense for being gay.

Section 377A of the penal code criminalizes gay sex.

Local schools don't offer an inclusive sexual education.

40% of Singaporeans consider homosexuality unacceptable and 65% have negative attitudes towards it.

Gay teens are 4 times more prone to depression and suicide attempts.

How do we make it safe for those still discovering their sexuality to get the answers they seek?
