Pauktuutit’s sexual health program began in the late 1980’s when news of the first Inuk woman diagnosed with HIV became public. Pauktuutit first passed a resolution during its 1984 Annual General Meetings (AGM) calling attention to Inuit sexual health issues and to the need for information and educational materials on sexual health that met the needs of Inuit communities. Later, in 1990, an AGM resolution called for an AIDS workshop in the North. In May 1995, Pauktuutit conducted the first National Inuit HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections Workshop, which served to raise awareness among Community Health Representatives (CHRs) about the issues and risk behaviours associated with HIV/AIDS and STIs. In 1998, with financial support from Health Canada, Pauktuutit began a pan-Arctic HIV/AIDS health prevention and promotion program that produced and distributed HIV/AIDS-related materials in English and Inuktitut. Pauktuutit remains the only national organization focusing on specific Inuit HIV/AIDS issues and initiatives, and has gained national and international recognition and acclaim for its innovative and unique work.

Alcohol can damage the brain and body of an unborn child. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) describes the wide range of lifelong mental, behavioural, and physical effects on children if their mothers drank alcohol while pregnant. Drinking no alcohol during pregnancy is the best way to prevent FASD. Stopping alcohol use anytime during pregnancy will reduce the risks of FASD. No amount of alcohol is safe during any stage of pregnancy. Everyone has a role in preventing FASD and supporting those who are affected by FASD.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, also called FASD, is the name given to the mental and physical problems that a baby can be born with if a woman drinks while she is pregnant. FASD can only happen if a woman drinks alcohol while she is pregnant. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, her unborn baby also drinks alcohol. Alcohol easily passes from the mother to the baby through the cord. Alcohol can severely affect the brain and development of a baby, so when alcohol passes from the mother to the baby, it often damages and slows the baby’s development. Problems from FASD will never go away.
